Using Scoria (2140) at Home

Scoria (2140) is a warm red shade - a versatile mid-tone for full walls or a single feature. Its warm undertone pairs best with warm whites and natural woods.

Best Rooms for Scoria

  • Dining rooms: energises conversation and appetite.
  • Studies and home offices: a steady tone that supports focus.
  • Accent walls: adds depth and definition on a single wall.
  • Bedrooms: a calm, grounded base for a restful room.

Colours That Pair With Scoria

Build a whole-home palette around Scoria as a flexible base or accent:

  • Brass and gold - lifts the warmth.
  • Dark wood and leather - matches its richness.
  • Warm cream and beige - gives the eye a rest.

Carry one of these into adjoining rooms to keep the whole home feeling cohesive.

Lighting & Finish

Lighting: Scoria deepens under warm light and afternoon sun, while north light keeps it even.

Finish: Matte in living rooms and bedrooms for a soft, premium feel; washable satin in kitchens, bathrooms and hallways.

Practical Tips

Paint a sample on two or three walls first, since red tones shift with the light through the day. Two coats over a tinted primer give the cleanest, most even result.
