Deep wine red with interplay

A deep Bordeaux with violet undertones, creating a dense, velvety darkness.

Bordeaux 390 is a dark, saturated red with distinct berry and violet undertones, which dominate in daylight. In the evening and under artificial light, the reddish hues become more prominent. The color has a warm undertone, but with a cool, wine-like freshness in the aftertaste. The low brightness and high color intensity emphasize a velvety depth. From a perceptual psychology perspective, the color has an intense, enveloping, and gathering effect, evoking associations with ripe fruit, heavy curtains, and evening light. It creates an atmosphere of concentrated intimacy, in which forms appear clear and refined.

Bordeaux 390, the wine red of heavy, velvety wine, and velvet as a textile material are an almost divine combination. This color can be found in historic libraries, velvet upholstery in city palaces, and in classic evening wear. In fashion, this shade appears in heavy fabrics such as velvet, satin, or fine wool, often combined with dark leather and metallic accents in brass or antique gold. When combined with bottle green, ink blue, or deep black, the color unfolds a dramatic effect. Carefully measured, this shade becomes an element of timeless, urban elegance.
