About this colour

This shade reads as a muted red with a brownish rose undertone, so it feels warm rather than sharp. At #A44647 it absorbs a fair amount of light, giving walls a close, enveloping look that suits rooms where you want colour to sit quietly rather than shout. In north-facing rooms it can look deeper and a little cooler, with the rose note becoming more restrained. In south-facing light it warms up and shows more of its red body, especially beside dark timber, aged brass, cream paint, and patterned upholstery in softer greens or dusky neutrals.

How to use it

Thorned Rose works well in a dining room, study, or bedroom where you want a warmer, more settled backdrop. It pairs neatly with painted woodwork in cream or deep brown and with upholstered pieces in velvet, linen, or floral prints that lean green, gold, or muted pink.

A deep rose-red on the wall that feels warm, grounded, and quietly close.

Pairs well with

Thorned Rose 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.
