With rich amber undertones, Summer Heat is a dynamic medium, saturated warm red. With an LRV of 31, it balances depth and brightness, making it a strong choice for dining rooms, accent walls, and home offices. For a cross-brand equivalent, Dutch Boy's Cottage Red is with only a slight difference visible side by side. MPC's Mehndi Red runs close as well. Try it alongside a cool-toned accent to create visual balance, or lean into warmth with natural wood tones.
