Terre D'Egypte is a rich orange-based red – slightly deeper than Harissa and more intensely coloured than the earthy Book Room Red. It appears paler and more terracotta-like in sunlight, making it a lovely warm tone for exterior woodwork. Indoors, used as a wall colour, it creates more intensely rich spaces.
Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Dark Tones
Complementary white: Joa's White
