Heritage Red

Heritage Red begins as a red color on paper, then shifts with every surface, shadow and neighboring material. Its pink and red classifications hint at the directions it may take as daylight, lamps and neighboring colors move around it. Move between the room imagery, color measurements and coordinating shades to build a fuller sense of how it might live in your space.
