What color is Little Greene Arras?

Little Greene Arras 316 is a deep, muted red with a clear brown cast, sitting closer to weathered brick than a bright traditional red. Its low-key saturation keeps the color grounded, while the warmth gives walls a settled, cocooning presence. In strong daylight, Arras reads as an earthy russet red; under softer evening light, its darker brown-red base becomes more pronounced. It suits dining rooms, studies, hallways, and snug living spaces, and can give cabinetry or a fireplace surround useful visual weight. Pair it with warm off-whites, aged brass, dark timber, natural linen, or charcoal-toned stone for a layered, material-focused interior.

What are Little Greene Arras undertones?

Arras 316 reads as a deep, muted red with a noticeable earthy brown cast and moderate saturation. In the supplied digital color, the red direction appears slightly warmed by a yellow bias, so it can look closer to a brick or clay red than a berry-toned red. Because no official Little Greene undertone description is available here, this is an observation of the provided color sample rather than a claim about the paint formula. Warm artificial light may bring out its brown-red warmth, while cool daylight can make the red look a little firmer and less warm.
