Quite Red

1011-3

Quite Red is a deep true red with a slightly blue edge. It is powerful. Let it carry for a front door, powder room, or lacquered furniture rather than casual whole house color.

With LRV 7, it needs light and sheen to show its richness. Cream trim looks softer than bright white. Black accents can make it feel sharper and more formal.

Quite 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.
