Badlands

1293

Badlands is a mid-toned red with warm orange undertones that keep it earthy. Its LRV of 24.63 places it in the lower mid-range, so it reads darker on large walls. The orange note is stronger under warm artificial light.

It is suitable for dining rooms, entryways, or accent walls where a warm red is needed. Pair it with Natural Linen and Smokey Taupe for soft neutrals, and add Hale Navy or Saybrook Sage for contrast.

Badlands 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.

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.
