So Merlot is a deep, warm pink with rosy undertones that give it a inviting quality. With an LRV of 23, it creates a cocooning effect, perfect for moody bedrooms, libraries, and intimate dining rooms. The closest cross-brand match is Behr's Deep Garnet, with only a slight difference visible side by side. Dunn-Edwards's Mulberry is another strong alternative.
