Basic Information

  • Neutrals 2018 to 2023

Merry Merlot is a dark, bright deep red with a rich, traditional feel. It suggests merlot, wine and grapes, while still reading as a flexible color rather than a single literal object. The shade has enough personality to stand on its own, but it can also support nearby colors when used with related tones, crisp neutrals or deeper accents. Depending on the surrounding palette, it can read as cherry red, cranberry, burgundy or wine red, which gives it useful range for seasonal, natural, floral and themed designs.

Color Theory

Merry Merlot is a bright pink with a subtle rose influence. It sits near the red-violet area, giving it a warm presence that can either support nearby colors or become a clear focal accent depending on contrast. Its hue of around 339° gives it its rose character, its saturation of about 75% makes it feel bright rather than flat, and its value of about 57% gives it a mid-tone, usable weight.
