Persian Rose is a mid-toned red from Craig & Rose. As a premium paint, it’s a popular colour to seek out close matches and value-brand alternatives to.
Stolen Rose by Dulux is the closest match from any other brand (very close) — and it holds Persian Rose’s lightness, warmth and saturation alike. The closest value-tier option is Dressed to the Nines by Valspar (very close), slightly warmer and slightly more saturated. A warmer match reads warmer again in a south-facing room that gets direct sun. Only one of the 8 other brands manages a near-identical match, which makes Persian Rose fairly distinctive. LRV is estimated from each brand’s swatch, so order testers before committing.
