Carter Red

CW-230

Carter Red is a warm red with medium-deep saturation and historical character. Its LRV of 24.4 places it in the low-mid range, so it reads bold but not near-black. It is suitable for dining rooms, entry walls, or furniture where a strong red is acceptable.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter or Saybrook Sage to moderate the warmth. Audubon Russet or Dinner Party extend the red-brown range.
