Brinjal presents as a deep, warm red with rosy undertones and a soft mood. With an LRV of 26, it grounds a space with quiet intensity, working beautifully in dens, master bedrooms, and formal dining rooms. For a cross-brand equivalent, Sherwin-Williams's Deep Maroon is an extremely close match. PPG's Gooseberry runs close as well. It pairs well with crisp whites for contrast and warm metallics like brass or gold for cohesion.
