Original shades, enduring warmth

Etruscan Red and Dead Salmon bring warmth to a room in very different ways. From rich and earthy to soft and subtle, their distinctive characters show just how versatile warmer colour can be.

Both are part of The Original Edit, where we celebrate a selection of shades from our first colour card.

The Original Edit

Etruscan Red’s earthy depth

Etruscan Red has all the richness of a deep red, tempered by earthy brown undertones. This gives it a grounded, inviting quality that works beautifully with soft pinks, earthy tones and deeper shades alike. Red can feel bold and impactful, or bring warmth and depth in a more understated way.

Dead Salmon’s quiet magic

Dead Salmon has a magical quality, seeming to shift between pink, mushroom and warm neutral depending on its surroundings. Its gentle warmth creates a serene backdrop, lending rooms a sense of ease and comfort. Pink can take on many different moods, from warm and grounding to fresh and uplifting.
