Berry Red - No. 250

Berry Red is the color of someone who walks into the room and immediately becomes the main character.

It’s a juicy, punchy red with that ripe berry vibe, like you just crushed a handful of raspberries with your bare hands and thought: “Yep. This is going in the painting.” It’s warm, bold, and slightly dramatic in the best way. Not shy. Not dusty. Not trying to be “a sophisticated muted rose.” Berry Red has places to be.

On paper it goes on clean and smooth, and it stays bright as it dries, which is honestly rare for reds that want to look this confident. In a light wash it turns into a fresh berry stain. Push it darker and it becomes deep, rich, almost jammy, perfect for florals, lips, cherries, red fabrics, or anything that needs a strong heartbeat.

It also mixes beautifully. Add a little blue and you get wine tones. Add yellow and it shifts toward warm coral. Add water and it becomes that flushed cheek color that makes everything look alive.

If your palette has been behaving a little too politely, Berry Red will fix that.
