Benjamin Moore Nicolson Red CW-270 is a deep, muted red with a noticeable brown cast, shown here as #64413D. Its low brightness keeps it grounded rather than vivid, giving walls a shaded brick-and-wine appearance. In strong daylight, the red component may read more clearly, while lower or warmer light can emphasize its earthy brown depth. Nicolson Red is especially effective in a dining room, library, entry, or powder room where a darker wall color can feel intentional. Pair it with warm off-whites, aged brass, walnut, leather, and natural linen, or use it on cabinetry and trim for a concentrated dose of color.
