Eating Room Red No. 43 by Farrow & Ball is a rich burgundy created with deep, blackened pigmentation for a wonderfully aged finish. Often considered their most elegant red, it takes its name from the red damasks that were popular in mid-19th-century dining rooms—bringing instant atmosphere and heritage character.
Compared with the more modern-looking Incarnadine, Eating Room Red can read almost like a saturated purple, especially in lower light. It’s a stunning choice for dining rooms, libraries, and dramatic feature walls when you want a red that feels classic, deep, and refined.
Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Red and Warm Tones.
Complementary white: Dimity.
