Fabulous Red

1011-2

Fabulous Red is a dark blue-red with a browned undertone, closer to cranberry leather than tomato. The browned cranberry base keeps the red adult, not candy-bright. Choose it for a front door, vanity, or furniture piece when a small hit of red belongs.

This is genuinely dark, so it needs sheen and light to avoid looking heavy. Warm white or dark bronze keeps the palette grounded. Bright cool whites can make it feel harsher.

Fabulous 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.

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.
