With an LRV of 20, it adds depth and sophistication, well-suited for accent walls, powder rooms, and home offices. The closest match from MPC is Napa Merlot, with only a slight difference visible side by side. It pairs well with crisp whites for contrast and warm metallics like brass or gold for cohesion.
