The Sophisticated Deep Red
Glide 70186 Sultry is the deep, slightly muted warm red of sophistication — darker than Cherry and Cardinal, with a warmth and complexity that reads as mature, dramatic, and romantic. On deep warm red fabrics and designs where red should feel like old roses, vintage lipstick, and evening glamour rather than bright holiday primary red, Sultry is the appropriate choice.
