What color is Dulux Garnet Symphony 1?

Dulux Garnet Symphony 1 72RR 05/147 is a deeply saturated, near-black red with a muted wine cast. Its low lightness gives it a dense, enveloping presence, while the red remains visible enough to keep it from reading as plain brown or charcoal. In daylight, this color shows its dark red character more clearly; under evening lighting, it can appear almost shadowy and plum-toned. Garnet Symphony 1 is particularly effective on a dining-room wall, library cabinetry, or a single dramatic alcove rather than across a small, poorly lit room. Pair it with warm off-whites, aged brass, walnut, blackened steel, or pale natural stone for contrast.
