Incarnadine No. 248 by Farrow & Ball is a classic crimson—our richest red—named from Latin and now widely used to describe deep crimsons. Similar to the glossy red used by David Hicks at Barons Court in the 1970s, Incarnadine is unashamedly glamorous, bold, and timeless.
Use Incarnadine to create a sumptuous hallway or entry when offset with Tanner’s Brown on woodwork for a rich, layered look. For something more edgy and graphic, pair it with a bright white to sharpen the contrast and let the crimson really sing.
Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Red and Warm Tones.
Complementary white: Dimity.
