Behr
Persimmon Red
HDC-CL-09
The brown note keeps it from looking primary. Cream trim softens the edge, and black hardware makes it sharper. In bright sun, the orange side becomes more pronounced, so test outside if using it on exterior details.

Persimmon Red 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.
