Claret Rose

2008-20

Claret Rose is a saturated red-orange pink with a warm undertone and low gray content. With an LRV of 19.16, it reads fairly deep. It is best used on an accent wall, cabinetry, or a small room where bold color is acceptable.

White Dove and Classic Gray keep nearby trim light. Coral Reef and Persimmon maintain the warm range, while Hale Navy adds contrast.
