Pajarito Red

2001-7B

Pajarito Red is a deep muted clay red with a warm brown base. Its clay brown base keeps the red grounded. It can work on a front door, powder room wall, or kitchen island when paired with lighter surroundings.

Cream trim brings out the warmth. Black hardware keeps it crisp. In dark rooms, it may lean brown, so test near the actual lighting before committing.

Pajarito 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.
