Understanding Radicchio
Radicchio is a modern crimson. It sits comfortably alongside Terre d'Egypte or Red Earth, so your palette stays cohesive even when you change sheens or substrates.
Pair it with walnut, aged brass, and candlelight so Radicchio flatters library walls and front doors. Link it to Terre d'Egypte or Red Earth next door for a polished palette.
How to test Radicchio dupes
Prime boards and study them under candlelight and daylight so Radicchio stays flattering next to Terre d'Egypte or Red Earth.
For doors or panelling, test a high-performing enamel and confirm it cures hard before guests brush past front doors.
Where Radicchio excels
The colour shines in library walls and front doors, providing personality without overpowering neighbouring rooms. Layer it with tactile fabrics and thoughtful lighting to underline its nuance.
Carry the story further by echoing it with trims or accents in Terre d'Egypte or Red Earth; the subtle repetition keeps the whole home feeling intentional.
