Sweet Melon

1008-1B

Sweet Melon is a strong coral red, warmer than blush and softer than tomato. The color has confidence. It can work on a front door, vanity, or compact dining room where high energy is welcome.

Since the value runs deep, it will feel richer on walls than the name suggests. Pair with creamy whites and natural wood for balance, especially under warm lamps.
