Carmine Red
#a62c37
Carmine Red is a deep, slightly muted red, darker than Carmine and with more yellow in its Lab reading, so it feels warmer and more like dried roses or old velvet. Twelve combinations feature it. With Light Brown Drab it becomes subdued and vintage; Blue gives it a strong, almost nautical contrast; and Sulpher Yellow lightens it with creamy warmth. White text on it reaches 6.9:1, strong enough for any text size. Use it in upholstery, book cloth, wine labels or a library wall.
