Defined by warm rose undertones, Napa Merlot is a welcoming deep, warm pink. With an LRV of 22, it grounds a space with quiet intensity, working beautifully in dens, master bedrooms, and formal dining rooms. Looking across brands, Behr's Antique Ruby comes in as an extremely close match. It pairs well with crisp whites for contrast and warm metallics like brass or gold for cohesion.
