Carpe Diem is a soft medium, warm red with rich amber undertones. With an LRV of 39, it balances depth and brightness, making it a strong choice for dining rooms, accent walls, and home offices. The closest cross-brand match is PPG's Barn Door, a near-identical match. Benjamin Moore's Tawny is another strong alternative. Coordinate with warm whites for trim and natural materials like jute and linen for a layered look.
