What shades of red are there?
In colour symbolism, red is the colour of passion, love, but also of anger: we associate the colour with great feelings, power and wealth. It has a tangible influence on people - but that is precisely why the colour red is also extremely exciting in the home
The red colour scheme ranges from Bordeaux and wine red to dark red, cherry red and light red. Depending on which living area you want to design and what effect you want to achieve, a warm or cool red is the right choice. You can find all colour shades in our shop so that you can start your red project straight away
The nuances of the colour red
Light shades of red can have a very different appearance by adding different pigments. These include, for example
- MissPompadour Red with Coral
- MissPompadour Red with Flamingo
- MissPompadour Red with Raspberry
- CosyColours Poudre Red
- CosyColours Autumn Red
All of these colour shades are subtle, warm reds that can be used as pleasant accent colours in many rooms, such as the bedroom or living room, without being overpowering
Strong, warm red tones create a cosy, stimulating and inviting atmosphere. They are suitable for the design of your dining room, for example. A typical example here is the warm, rich Red with Sweden, which is reminiscent of cosy wooden houses in Sweden
A really "hot", intense red with slight yellow tones is Red with Chili. And the clear, somewhat cooler but no less powerful Red with Cherry is a rich colour that can be wonderfully combined with other shades
Darker and almost mystical in appearance are wine-red tones that are tinted with black and violet. Red with Merlot is a fantastic example of this
What effect does red have as a wall paint?
A wall paint in shades of red has different effects depending on its composition: first and foremost, red has a stimulating effect. It also exudes positive energy and can stimulate not only appetite but also conversation. If you want to live in an environment that radiates energy and vitality, then be sure to add red accents to your rooms
Due to their appetising effect, colour shades from the red colour scheme are ideal for dining rooms and kitchens. A great colour shade for the dining room, for example, would be Poudre Red from the CosyColours chalk paints
In the bedroom, red has a sensual and warm effect. With an accent wall painted in wine red, you can create an elegant and cosy atmosphere in your retreat
Shades of red can also contribute to your well-being in the living room when mixed and dosed correctly. Use a friendly, inviting coral red, the warm Autumn Red from the CosyColours or the fresh Red with Flamingo to create an individual ambience in living rooms
Red colour for furniture & tiles
As with all colours, not all red is the same. Take a look at our wide range of varnishes in red and let yourself be inspired! You'll find that there are great applications for red in your home too. Especially as an accent, the colour red in its various shades can bring life to your living spaces
Living styles and trends in red colours
Red wood colour is an absolute classic in the outdoor area. Inspired by the pretty houses in Sweden, you too can design your garden shed with red wood paint. If you have furnished the interior of your home in a Scandi style, the sparing use of Red with Sweden is a must. Set small accents with this warm colour. The warm red goes wonderfully with wall paints in natural tones, as well as soft grey, and is never overpowering
If you want to introduce Asian elements into your living style, a rich, clear shade of red like Red with Cherry is the right choice. This red goes wonderfully with black and clean lines. If your heart beats more for a decorative oriental style, you will find the right colour nuance for you among the warm reds
If the retro style of the 50s and 60s is one of your sources of inspiration, go for clear red tones. Paired with white or grey-grey wall paint, your living style will transport you straight to the swinging sixties

The Valuable Wall Paint is our odourless, sustainable wall paint. It is solvent-free and contains no VOCs or preservatives. It also does not splatter or drip
The Functional Wall Paint is extremely impact-resistant and washable. This quality was developed for demanding applications where a paint has to withstand a lot, i.e. stairwells, corridors, workshops or practice rooms
CosyColours wall paints are chalk-based paints with which you can achieve an elegant, nostalgic, slightly rustic surface texture on your walls. The colour shades are pastel and particularly cosy.
The LittlePomp wall paints are also based on chalk. Their colour shades are specially developed for the psychology of babies and toddlers, and the paints are sustainable and completely harmless to health

You can choose between different gloss levels for the varnishes. You can find semi-gloss varnishes in the Eggshell Varnish quality of the Just paint Collection.

Eggshell Varnish is also the right quality if you want to paint garden furniture, garden fences or even doors and gates in outdoor areas

Which colour shades go with red?
When it comes to possible combinations, the colour red is a real jack-of-all-trades. The question of what you combine red with depends on the effect and mood you want to achieve.
Of course, all shades of white and natural colours go perfectly with red. Ideally, you should make sure that the neutral tone contains red pigments. Red with powder is such a neutral colour shade with red pigments in the Just paint Collection. Our eyes unconsciously make a connection between the pigments of the individual colours. This allows you to achieve a harmonious overall result.
Light red tones in combination with light beige tones look warm, summery and close to nature. The colour red also works well with its green complementary colours. For example, an accent wall painted in the burgundy colour Red with Merlot will accentuate a chest of drawers in Green with Sage standing in front of it
All shades of grey, whether light or dark, combine perfectly with red. Mouse grey (e.g. Grey with Green) gives red a particularly intense glow, while dark grey (e.g. Grey with Peat) takes the edge off a strong red. Grey and red form an extraordinary colour combination for relaxed and stylish living
The colour combination of red and blue is almost a classic: the warm and cold combination is extremely expressive and makes both colours appear more striking. The combination of the fast-paced red with cherry and the rich blue with jeans is a classic. A light blue or aqua blue wall with a deep red sofa in front of it creates a surprising constellation that is sure to be a highlight in your home
Last but not least, the colour red can be wonderfully combined with pastel shades. You can even use red tones in the children's room. Have you ever thought about combining red with pink? You'll be amazed at how wonderfully these shades harmonise with each other
What can I stylishly combine red colours with?
The materials you can combine with red are just as varied as the shades of red themselves
If you use Swedish red for the Scandi style, natural woods go particularly well with it. Complement this style with cosy cushions and blankets, candles and fur rugs
The combination of antique furniture made of dark wood and red walls looks particularly elegant. This is because a bold shade of red can bring antiques up to date visually
If you use red in a more glamorous way, gold accents and accessories made of velvet and silk will suit your furnishing style. Baroque-style picture frames really come into their own on a red wall and emphasise the sophisticated mood
Of course, you can also use red for a modern, minimalist interior. In this case, it is a good idea to freshen up the predominant black and white with eye-catchers in red, such as accent furniture. On the other hand, graphic patterns and furniture with clean lines go well with the retro style
Which colours go well with bright red?
If a bright red is intense and contains yellow components, such as Red with Chili, it is best combined with neutral colour shades. Beige and grey tones are ideal. If the bright red is warm and friendly, such as Red with Coral, it can also be beautifully combined with green in addition to the neutral shades. Reds with blue or black-black tones go well with grey tones, while a warm, bright shade of red such as Autumn Red goes well with earth tones and olive
What effect does bright red have in a room?
The effect of bright red depends on which pigments the red contains. The more intense the shade of red, the more sparingly it should be used - red always evokes emotions and a room should not appear overwhelming
Which wall goes well with furniture in light red?
Furniture colour in red turns a simple piece of furniture into an eye-catcher. Furniture in light red goes particularly well with beige tones, grey tones from light to dark grey and green tones from olive to turquoise on the wall
Is bright red a warm colour?
This depends on which pigments have been added. Red with pigments in beige or white has a warm effect
