Ruby Dee is a deep, saturated warm pink featuring soft pink undertones and a lively character. With an LRV of 20, it absorbs light dramatically, making it ideal for accent walls, cabinetry, and front doors where bold contrast is the goal. Behr offers Cherry Wine as an extremely close match, while Vista Paint's Valentine's Kiss is also very similar. It pairs well with crisp whites for contrast and warm metallics like brass or gold for cohesion.
