Gimme a RED!

Please post the reds that you used in your homes...with brands too. Burgundys are OK too. Pics would be a bonus, thanks!

Re: Gimme a RED!

I used Ralph Laurens 'Brazillian Ruby' which is definitely more of a burgandy.

Not the greatest photo to judge color but the paint chip was pretty indicative of the color.

If you want more of a red, RL makes some nice shades. If I didnt already have the burgandy curtains, I wuold have went with 'Picture Gallery Red'

Re: Gimme a RED!

Claud, I was considering the red for my kitchen/dining room too (since the rooms kind of connect). When are you painting?

Re: Gimme a RED!

Stacey - my hubby already bought the 'test' quarts of the two colors - we are planning on doing the red on the lower half of the wall, with a tanish color above and a gloss white chair rail. We are also considering painting the backsplash with the red temporarily until we can have the tile installed. We may get to do the 'trial' this weekend. I promise to take pics as soon as possible.
