Pompeian Red
#ab2439
Pompeian Red is a deep, warm crimson, its name evoking the red-painted walls of Pompeii, with high red chroma and a moderate yellow lean. It looks like old lacquer or dark cherry. Mineral Gray gives it a cool, stony companion; Cameo Pink pairs it with its lighter, dusty relative; and Cream Yellow warms it into a classic, theatrical combination. At 6.9:1 against white it can carry body text, so it serves well for headings, buttons or a strong panel. Consider it for dining rooms, book covers, and printed stationery.
