About Savannah Clay
Savannah Clay (047) is a deep, medium-strength red from Benjamin Moore that leans pink. With an LRV of 29, Savannah Clay absorbs more light than it reflects, so it works best in rooms with good natural light or where you want a cozier feel.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Savannah Clay's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for dining rooms, accent walls, front doors and libraries. It's very close to Smoked Salmon (CC-154); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
