Dark red
A striking red that combines dark warmth with cultivated intensity, unfolding a calm yet determined presence.
This classic dark red has low brightness, high saturation, and warm undertones. The tone is intense yet not loud, creating an atmospheric weight full of grace. The color evokes ripe fruit, dark pigments, and subdued candlelight.
Classic dark red evokes historical dyes like alizarin and purple. It can be found in velvet fabrics, classic couture gowns, and lacquered objects. In interiors, it adds depth and harmonizes with brass, dark wood, and tonal neutrals. Combined with textured textiles, it creates a sophisticated tension. It is one of the most popular Christmas colors.
