Dantes Cardigan

M251

Dantes Cardigan is a deep brick red with a brown undertone. The brown undertone turns the red toward brick and old leather. Dantes Cardigan works on dining room walls, a study ceiling, or a vintage cabinet that can carry strong color.

LRV 8 darkens rooms quickly. Cream trim and dark wood keep it handsome, but cool gray can make it harsh. Keep a sample of it near the main doorway.
