About this colour

#A05456 reads as a warm, subdued red with a clear berry undertone and a trace of brown that keeps it settled. It absorbs more light than it reflects, so it can make a room feel calmer and more enclosed rather than bright. In north-facing light it turns cooler and a little deeper, with the red shifting towards plum. In south-facing light the warmth comes forward and the colour looks richer, sitting well beside aged oak, dark walnut, cream paintwork, and upholstery in claret, moss, or biscuit tones.

How to use it

Use Barbed Berry in a dining room, sitting room, or snug where you want a grounded red on the walls or ceiling. It works well with painted woodwork in soft white, or with natural timber and upholstery in deep green, tan, or muted gold.

Barbed Berry gives a room a settled red with warmth and depth on the wall.

Barbed Berry is a wall colour, so these are the cloths that sit against it: one of them on the curtains, the paint behind. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.
