Introducing Co-op's 2016 Paint Colour of the Year: Bulls Eye Red

The Paint Colour of the Year is greatly inspired by a changing image of beauty. As we see red rise in popularity in design, the colour proves to harmonize well with warm soft-metal finishes, earthy natural oiled woods and helps to balance other neutral tones. Red is strongly associated with emotion, vitality, luxury, confidence, passion and elegance. Red makes a young, spirited, powerful statement wherever it appears!

Layering

Copper, Rose Gold and 18KT Gold are very chic hues, especially when combined with various red tones. Rich, deep wine red – a saturated accent of a bright red rose similar to Bulls Eye Red – is a lovely pairing with metallic shades.

Accenting

Red creates a wonderful warm accent in any space, but balancing this intense colour is key! When creating a warm-spirited space, pair a Bulls Eye Red single focal wall with soft grey or taupe main walls. This combination works especially well when flooring is classic grey, weathered wood stain or in medium to dark wood tones. Bulls Eye Red is ravishing in accent cushions, painted furniture pieces or perhaps the interior of a cabinet as a luxurious surprise.

Pair Bulls Eye Red with these neutral tones and flooring ideas.
