Burgundy
A genuinely deep shade with weight and presence. We see Burgundy specified most often for alcove and chimney-breast features and restaurant and bar interiors. It frames pale stone, brass, marble and warm-white plasterwork dramatically. Burgundy sits in our High-end Paint range with with a soft warmth that suits low daylight, undertones of oxblood, and a character that's saturated and warm-dark. The lineage is old-world dining room, but the way it sits on a wall is unmistakably current.

Questions clients ask about this shade
Won't Burgundy make the room feel smaller?+
Deep shades like Burgundy actually blur a room's edges, making walls feel further away rather than closer. The trick is to wrap the colour onto skirting and trim so there are no high-contrast lines to remind the eye where the room ends.
What sheen options come in Burgundy?+
Burgundy is tinted into your choice of dead-matt, soft eggshell or low-sheen satin. For rooms with high handling — hallways, kitchens — we'd usually recommend eggshell.
What does Burgundy pair with from your range?+
We most often pair Burgundy with the three closest shades in its family — see the pairings panel below. Beyond that, works as a backdrop to brass, gilt frames and warm-toned timber.
