Defined by warm golden undertones, Desert Carnation is a cozy light, warm orange. With an LRV of 62, it brings warmth without overwhelming a space, well-suited for main living areas and dining rooms. For a cross-brand equivalent, Sherwin-Williams's Portrait Tone is a near-identical match. Vista Paint's Southwest Sand runs close as well.
