Wall paint - Crimson Red No. W93

About Crimson Red No. W93

Crimson Red is not the intense shade its name might suggest, but a distinctive pink, as modern and romantic as Sulking Room Pink, but with significantly less grey. For a traditional look, combine it with woodwork in Skimmed Milk White. For a glamorous twist, swap the white for deep Titmouse Blue.

Colour Effect & Light

Crimson Red envelops rooms in a dusty, rosy red that feels velvety and intimate in evening light. Due to its high pigmentation, the tone changes with the daylight: softer in the morning, deeper in the evening.
