Red Henna

1008-7A

Red Henna is a dark clay red with a browned undertone. The browned red base reads best with clay tile. Reserve it in a study, dining room, or on cabinets with warm stone counters.

That dark value gives the walls weight, so lighter furnishings matter. For Red Henna, linen plus aged brass. In cool daylight, it can look more brick than red. A satin sheen helps the clay read richer.
