Red is traditionally an expensive colour to produce and these classic paint
shades have always carried an air of opulence. Browse our red and pink
paint colours or explore our gallery for inspiration.
From the deep muted Victorian colour of Bronze Red paint to the stand-out Atomic Red, this versatile palette of pink and red paint colours can be used for any style of home. For something a little softer, browse our selection of delicate pink paints, from the sweetness of Confetti to the stronger dusky pink, Light Peachblossom.
Muted Reds and Pinks encapsulate those dusky colours so popular with many designers. Both pale and strong colours from this section are redolent of flowers and the easy nature of soft furnishings. For a natural gentle pink or deep red choose Blush, where the red ochre pigment offers a not too sweet ambience for a project. Alternatively, Light Peachblossom are our standout dusky pinks with a hint of violet.
Take care when choosing a light pink paint colour: the key is to recognise which shades contain an element of violet and which are red-orange. The addition of violet leads towards lilac and mauve, whilst conversely, red ochre leads to a less sweet tone that is more often popular in living rooms and hallways. Try Pink Slip or Chemise as pale pinks without too much sweetness.
The popularity of strong reds has been with us in varying degrees for decades. Deep red walls create an opulent intimacy in dining spaces and lounges, particularly when teamed with subdued or focused lighting. Try Theatre Red or Baked Cherry to fit this bill. More dynamic shades, like Mischief and Leather, should be saved for rooms of activity, like the kitchen.
