Vermilion reads as a easygoing medium, warm pink, shaped by its subtle blush undertones. With an LRV of 41, it strikes a balance that suits both traditional and contemporary spaces, from dining rooms to dens. For a cross-brand equivalent, Sherwin-Williams's Ruby Shade is an extremely close match. Dunn-Edwards's Rosewine runs close as well. It pairs well with crisp whites for contrast and warm metallics like brass or gold for cohesion.
