Carnelian is a deep, warm neutral with rosy undertones that give it a soft quality. With an LRV of 26, it creates a cocooning effect, perfect for moody bedrooms, libraries, and intimate dining rooms. Behr's Divine Wine is the nearest cross-brand equivalent, a near-identical match. It pairs well with crisp whites for contrast and warm metallics like brass or gold for cohesion.
