Oh So Red

1009-1

Oh So Red is a saturated red with a warm brick undertone. It has impact. Save it for an entry door or a small dining room where drama belongs.

LRV 14 keeps it deep, so it needs light trim or nearby pale surfaces. Warm bulbs will make it richer. Cool daylight can expose a sharper red edge, so sample before choosing the sheen.

Oh So 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.
