Rose De Mai

Rose De Mai Technical Profile

What color is Dunn-Edwards Rose De Mai (DET432)? It's a medium warm red — hex #CB8E81, LRV 34. The closest cross-brand equivalent to Rose De Mai is Benjamin Moore Antique Rose — a near-identical match on the wall, with Sherwin-Williams Constant Coral and Dutch Boy Coral House also close. Its LRV of 34 gives Rose De Mai depth without going dark, which makes it a strong choice for accent walls, libraries, and rooms with abundant natural light. Pair it with creamy off-whites like Alabaster for trim, walnut or cherry hardwoods, and brass hardware — the warmth keeps reds from feeling clinical. Deep forest green or navy work as bold accent walls. At mid saturation, this color sits at a flexible mid-point — bold enough to anchor a room without dominating, and pairs cleanly with both crisp and creamy whites. Reds intensify under 2700K-3000K warm bulbs, deepening into wine territory. Under 4000K+ cool LEDs they can read pinker or slightly washed — sample under your actual room lighting before committing. At mid saturation the lighting shift is moderate but real — sample under both warm-bulb evening light and cool-daylight morning light before committing.
