A gentle deep, warm pink, Chicory Root gets its personality from subtle blush undertones. With an LRV of 21, it grounds a space with quiet intensity, working beautifully in dens, master bedrooms, and formal dining rooms. The closest match from Sherwin-Williams is Merlot, an extremely close match. It pairs well with crisp whites for contrast and warm metallics like brass or gold for cohesion.
