A deep, saturated warm red, Real Red carries honey-warm undertones and a distinctly radiant presence. With an LRV of 30, it absorbs light dramatically, making it ideal for accent walls, cabinetry, and front doors where bold contrast is the goal. The closest cross-brand match is Vista Paint's Lipstick Pencil, a near-identical match. Dunn-Edwards's Hot Jazz is another strong alternative. It pairs well with crisp whites for contrast and warm metallics like brass or gold for cohesion.
