Old Street

This shade reads as a warm, earthy red-brown with moderate depth, so it takes the edge off bright light rather than bouncing it back. In north-facing rooms it can turn quieter and slightly more muted, showing its brown side first. In south-facing light the red in it comes forward and the colour feels warmer and fuller without becoming brash. On walls it sits comfortably beside oak, walnut and painted joinery, and it works well with linen-toned upholstery, camel leathers and muted greens.

Old Street suits sitting rooms, dining rooms and hallways where you want warmth without going into a true red. It works particularly well on woodwork with natural timber, or beside upholstery in mushroom, olive, tobacco and soft cream tones.
