A modern crimson
This bright and modern red takes its name from the distinctive crimson leaves of Italian chicory. Although tempered with magenta, Radicchio contains less blue pigment than Eating Room Red so is brighter and more contemporary in feel. It confidently fills a room with energy without having the brashness of a true, clean red.

Key features
Audited and ethical supply chain
Making the very best paint and paper possible starts well before the factory. That’s why we’re meticulous about who we work with. From sourcing raw materials to delivery, all of our suppliers have to follow our strict Code of Conduct.
Being a manufacturer puts us in a privileged position: we know exactly what goes into our products and exactly where it comes from, all the way back to raw materials. Not all paint brands make paint from scratch, they buy a base paint and add a colour tint. These brands are one step further away from the process and have to try and investigate how their suppliers’ suppliers behave.
Water based with A+ Indoor air quality rating
We’re proud to have been the first in the industry to transition to a completely water based range back in 2010. As a result, all of our finishes, including our tough trim and floor paints, are made with a low-odour, low-VOC water base that scores A+ for indoor air quality.
