Etruscan Red No. 56 by Farrow & Ball is a brown-based deep red inspired by an ancient civilisation. Earthy and grounded, it delivers unmistakable richness while staying warm and liveable—ideal when you want a deep red that won’t dominate the room.
Less intense than Preference Red, Etruscan Red is a great choice for dining rooms, libraries, hallways, and feature walls where you want heritage warmth and depth. Pair it with Joa’s White for a soft, balanced contrast on trim and ceilings.
Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Red and Warm Tones.
Complementary white: Joa’s White.
