Decadent Red

2002-5A

Decadent Red is a deep tomato red with brown and clay underneath. Decadent Red has muscle. Decadent Red suits a dining room, door, or cabinet when burgundy feels too cool.

With LRV 9, it needs strong light and enough white space nearby. Dark woods make it traditional, and black accents make it sharper. Check the sample vertically so Decadent Red does not fool you.

Decadent Red 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.
