First Lady is a medium, warm red — rich in tone, with rich amber undertones. With an LRV of 53, it balances depth and brightness, making it a strong choice for dining rooms, accent walls, and home offices. The closest cross-brand match is Farrow & Ball's Red Earth, a near-identical match. Hirshfield's's First Lady is another strong alternative. It pairs well with crisp whites for contrast and warm metallics like brass or gold for cohesion.
