Farrow and Ball's "LOGGIA" 232
"This shade of Tuscan red [is] warm and open and down - to - earth, with a little patina. I'm off to Italy to tour villas and gardens in the lakes region, and Loggia evokes all things alfresco — tall cypresses, umbrella pines, terracotta rooftops, limoncello on ice in the late afternoon..." - Charlotte Moss
Farrow and Ball's "TERRE d'EGYPTE" 247,

Sherwin Williams' "EMOTIONAL" SW6621
"I think it's funny they named this "Emotional," because color in general is so emotional — scientists are always doing these studies about what a red room or a blue room does to you. This is a brick orange that feels energetic, confident, and protective — no mental health therapy required here! I thought this small coatroom needed a strong color to make it an individual space of its own, not just an afterthought. It seemed slightly risky to use it, which might be why I liked it so much." - Thomas Jayne
Farrow and Ball's "CHARLOTTE'S LOCKS" 268
"It's new and a little different — not quite orange and not quite red. More of a persimmon. It feels warm and inviting when you come in from the cold, and if there's a little mess in the mudroom, you don't notice because you're so surprised by this rich, exciting color . We even painted the moldings and doors to make it more intense." - John Barman

Benjamin Moore's own " Top Five Reds. "
Farrow and Ball's "PICTURE GALLERY RED" 42
"I painted this rich, exotic red right onto rough
plaster walls in a bathroom and added Moroccan tile to create a Moorish fantasy
that automatically makes you want to shed your clothing and plunge into a
delicious rose petal-scented bath. A bathroom should be at least the second
sexiest spot in your house, and this color will get you into just the right
mood." - Martyn Lawrence - Bullard
Farrow and Ball's "ETRUSCAN RED" 56 (above)
“This reminds me of those wonderful neoclassical rooms by Karl Friedrich Schinkel in Berlin or Robert Adam in England. It has an excitement that straight brown doesn’t have because of that hint of red, and I love red. I would glaze it for extra depth and do the woodwork in faux stone. Bring in a little gold, a deep green. Modern furniture on bare wood floors with a Greek vase in the middle.
– David Easton on ETRUSCAN RED
"This color envelops you, quietly penetrating like a
deep massage. You can relax and regroup, physically and emotionally, until you
regain your strength. It's the color of the clay pipes made by the indigenous
people of our land to communicate with the creator. It doesn't feel like paint.
It feels like mother earth herself."
- Kathryn Scott on ETRUSCAN RED
