Inferno

P190-7

Inferno is a vivid orange-red, closer to cayenne than brick. This color wants attention. A front door, powder room ceiling, or painted chair rail can take the heat better than a large open living area.

It glows under warm bulbs, so evening samples are essential. Blackened metal sharpens it. Cream softens it. Keep glossy finishes controlled because high saturation can make every surface flaw stand out.

Inferno in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
