Barn Door

PPG1055-6

Barn Door is a muted red-brown with a softened clay undertone. It suits a front door, dining room, or built-in nook where a warm accent makes sense. Lean on off-white trim and aged brass.

Bright light pulls the red side clearer. Dark rooms may push it toward brown, so add lamps if it goes on several walls. The clay undertone softens the red.
