Warm Heart

M203

Warm Heart is a pale coral pink with a creamy red-orange base. It feels warm, not sugary. A bedroom, bath, or powder room can use its flattering warmth when beige feels too plain.

Bright daylight keeps it soft. Warm white trim, cane, or unlacquered brass suit it. Against cool marble, the pink may appear stronger, so place the sample beside fixed surfaces.

Warm Heart 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.
