Burgundy Colors
Burgundy belongs in rooms with polish: a bar niche, office, powder bath, or a painted ceiling over warm wood. It is a dark red family pulled toward wine, cranberry, and purple, with Oxblood sitting at the deepest end.

Using burgundy in your home
Use burgundy where you can repeat the depth in art, rugs, or wood finishes. It looks richer in south or west light. North light can make it read more purple. Cream trim, dirty pink, taupe, olive, and aged brass all sit well with it. Skip bright white trim here because the contrast can feel abrupt. On big walls, test two coats on a board, since burgundy often dries darker than expected.
