Posh Red

1011-4

Posh Red is a blackened red, closer to oxblood leather than lipstick. It will dominate a room. Consider it on a front door, lacquered cabinet, or tiny powder room where the drama has a clear purpose.

With LRV 5, it needs shine, daylight, or strong lighting to show its red character. Warm stone and antique gold flatter the brown base.

Posh 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.
