Farrow and Ball Etruscan Red 56

Farrow and Ball Etruscan Red 56 is a deep, muted red with a clear earthy brown cast, giving it the look of softened brick rather than a bright primary red. Its restrained saturation makes it especially effective in dining rooms, libraries, hallways, or on kitchen cabinetry where a darker color can add definition without feeling harsh. In strong daylight, this shade reads as a dusty clay red, while lower or warmer light brings forward its richer brown-red depth. Pair it with warm off-whites, natural oak, aged brass, leather, and stone for a grounded material palette. On an exterior door or window trim, Etruscan Red can provide a substantial accent against pale render, cream brick, or weathered wood.
