Whipped Strawberry

1006-1A

Whipped Strawberry is a deep strawberry red with a pink-coral edge. The name sounds light. Its low LRV gives the coral-red base surprising muscle.

Use it in focused applications, such as a powder room, door, vanity, or painted chest. Around LRV 17, it needs light trim and good bulbs. Cream, cane, or warm brass suit it. On large walls, the red can feel intense.
