Bravado Red

SW 6320

Bravado Red (SW, #A0524E) is a deep, moderately saturated red with warm brown undertones that keep it from reading as a bright primary red. Its LRV of 14 means it absorbs substantial light and will appear dark in most conditions, especially in north-facing rooms. The brownish cast gives it a muted, earthy quality compared to a pure cadmium red.

Pure White or Alabaster create sharp tonal contrast when used on trim. Rookwood Dark Red and Copper Pot extend its warm red family, while Accessible Beige and Anew Gray serve as stabilizing neutrals in adjacent surfaces.
