Merlot offers a inviting take on a medium, warm red, accented by warm golden undertones. With an LRV of 37, it provides enough depth for visual interest while remaining approachable — ideal for dining rooms and studies. For a cross-brand equivalent, MPC's Velvet Rose is an extremely close match. Benjamin Moore's Travers runs close as well.
