Wall Paint - Radicchio No. 96

About Radicchio No. 96

Radicchio is a very modern red with a distinct magenta undertone, which gives it its contemporary appeal. It creates a vibrant and energetic atmosphere in a room and brings a bit more complexity than a pure red without specific undertones.

Colour Effect & Light

Radicchio makes a confident statement and unfolds its full charm in the evening by candlelight and lamplight. In smaller rooms or those with little daylight, it consciously creates an enveloping, intimate character. Combined with light-coloured textiles and warm light, it results in a real wow effect.
