Tawny Port combines the depth of a deep, warm red with subtle blush undertones for a gentle effect. With an LRV of 21, it grounds a space with quiet intensity, working beautifully in dens, master bedrooms, and formal dining rooms. Sherwin-Williams offers Merlot as with only a slight difference visible side by side, while Kilz's Bookmarker is also very similar. Try it alongside a cool-toned accent to create visual balance, or lean into warmth with natural wood tones.
