Sunken Ship is a deep, warm red with honey-warm undertones that give it a gentle quality. With an LRV of 30, it creates a cocooning effect, perfect for moody bedrooms, libraries, and intimate dining rooms. For a cross-brand equivalent, PPG's Warm Mahogany is an extremely close match. Sherwin-Williams's Aurora Brown runs close as well. It pairs well with crisp whites for contrast and warm metallics like brass or gold for cohesion.
