Incarnadine

No. 248

Incarnadine is a deep, muted red with dusty undertones that pull it away from pure crimson toward a more restrained, earthy tone. With an LRV of 34.4, it sits in the lower-mid reflectance range and will darken noticeably in rooms with limited natural light. It suits dining rooms, libraries, or feature walls where a strong color is needed without excessive brightness.

Wimborne White and Pointing work as trim colors, while Railings or Down Pipe on joinery can reinforce its depth. Tanner's Brown provides a warm tonal companion.

Incarnadine 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.
