Farrow & Ball Etruscan Red No. 56

This deep earth color became a popular feature in neoclassical decoration following the original 18th-century excavation at Pompeii. With more brown tones and less intensity than Preference Red, it's a wonderful grounding shade for kitchen islands and pantries.

Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Red and Warm Tones

Complementary white: Joa's White
