Morocco Red

PPU2-17

Morocco Red is a deep brick red with warm orange-brown underneath. It feels grounded and bricklike. It works nicely in a dining room, powder room, library, or on exterior doors and shutters.

The low LRV makes it a committed dark color indoors, so plan for lamps and lighter trim. Cream, black iron, and warm wood suit it well. In direct sun, the red can look more vivid, especially on exterior surfaces.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
