Picture Gallery Red No. 42 by Farrow & Ball is a timeless, brown-based red inspired by the magnificent gallery at Attingham Park. A generous helping of brown pigment deepens the colour, giving it distinctive warmth and character—ruddy, rich, and wonderfully atmospheric.
As the name suggests, Picture Gallery Red creates a striking backdrop for artwork of every kind, from children’s crayon drawings to expertly painted oils. Use it in dining rooms, hallways, studies, or as a feature wall when you want a bold red that feels classic rather than bright.
Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Red and Warm Tones.
Complementary white: Dimity.
