Radicchio, Farrow & Ball
Farrow & Ball

Red Gumball, PPG Paints
PPG Paints
“While we wouldn’t use this fiery, raspberry red on its own, paired with high-contrast black and white, it makes such a chic statement! We would use this very sparingly, as a pop of color on a trim or to pull together shades from a vibrant art piece. We've used it as a ceiling shade. It would look great in a lacquered finish for a door.” — Laura Umansky

Incarnadine, Farrow & Ball
Farrow & Ball
“This classic shade of crimson reminds me of the glamorous 1970s and feels inspired by mid-20th century artists like Rothko and Motherwell. I’ve recently used it in the interior of a credenza for a surprising contrast to an otherwise conventional piece.

Caliente, Benjamin Moore
Benjamin Moore

Showstopper, Sherwin-Williams
Sherwin-Williams
“The name says it all—it's a showstopper! This red is great, as it's not orangey, not too bright, and not too burgundy. It's the perfect pop to stop people in their tracks and take notice. It's fun, playful, and powerful at the same time. This red is perfect for making a statement in a dining room, but it's also fun for a front door, or can be a playful color when refinishing a furniture piece.” — Linda Hayslett

Blazer, Farrow & Ball
Farrow & Ball
“My favorite red paint right now is the very regal and charming Blazer Red from Farrow & Ball (no.
212). It is close to an orange red. The terra-cotta hues soften its perception, making it comforting rather than aggressive. It's a perfect option for those seeking a rich color, but scared of a classic red's loudness.” — Yuna Megre

Big Apple, Clare Paint
Clare Paint
“One of my favorite red paint colors is from our Clare palette. I’m obsessed with Big Apple. It’s a deep, rich red that’s bold and delicious and is named in honor of New York City, Clare HQ's hometown and the greatest city in the world.” — Nicole Gibbons

Sundried Tomato, Benjamin Moore
Benjamin Moore
"This deep rusty red is sultry and beautiful. As someone who rarely uses color in interior spaces, this is one of those colors that I can pair back with grey, beige, concrete and rich woods that add depth and saturation without being too stately.
" — Becky Shea

Alizarin, Benjamin Moore Century
Benjamin Moore
“It’s my favorite red because it evokes the deep, dark red of a raspberry. One with hints of purple, green and blue. As in a raspberry that’s found in nature.” – Alex Papachristidis

Rectory Red, Farrow & Ball
Farrow & Ball
"My favorite red paint is Rectory Red by Farrow & Ball. It is sophisticated and looks divine lacquered a la Mrs. Astor's library by Albert Hadley!" — CeCe Barfield Thompson

Lavish C2-518, C2 Paint
C2 Paint
"Rich, deep and complex, C2 Paint’s 'Lavish #C2-518' is a most handsome red. I love that it works equally well in rooms paired with crisp white, allowing other colors to pop against it, as well as in sultry rooms, where it holds its’ place as the life-source of a finely-tuned color palette.
" — Kathleen Walsh

Megan Tatem

It is the perfect shade of red because it has just the right amount gold and brown in its rich depths.” — Alexa Hampton, creative director of ATGStores.com

Bittersweet Autumn, Donald Kaufman Color
Megan Tatem
"The mix of pigments is vampy, saturated, clear, and robust. It reminds me of all of the fabulous lipstick shades that I used to see on my mother's and sister's vanity growing up. They only used these lipsticks for 'special occasions,' and I imagine my advice for home interiors would be just the same with this color.
" — Jon Call

Old Claret, Benjamin Moore
Megan Tatem
“I would use this red in a dining room mixed with an antique mirror, gilded furniture, and a rock crystal chandelier. It is sophisticated and luxurious." — Alex Papachristidis

Moroccan Red, Benjamin Moore
Megan Tatem
"This leans more towards an orange-red versus a blue-toned red. It reminds me of my favorite lipstick. It is sexy but also earthy. This color is fabulous for a statement piece of furniture (try it on a kitchen island!)." — Taniya Nayak
Check it out here.
Real Red, Sherwin Williams
Megan Tatem
"My favorite reds are ones with a bit of orange in them, anything to avoid the dreaded 'cranberry' reference. This is a great balanced color with just enough orange, but not so much that it reads 'stop sign!'" — Erin Gates

Classic Burgundy, Benjamin Moore
Megan Tatem
"It is a deep red that adds drama to any style and pairs well with everything from pastels to bright colors." — Homepolish designer Beth Partyka

Heritage Red, Benjamin Moore
Megan Tatem
"This red was designed specifically for exterior use and makes for a beautiful front door color. It reminds me of the big red barns found in the Scandinavian countryside. Although strong, it has enough black to keep it sophisticated and classic. It's the perfect choice for the traditionalist who still wants a bit of flair.
" — Laurel & Wolf designer Heather Brents
Check it out here.
Raspberry Truffle, Benjamin Moore
Megan Tatem
"It's a stately rich, bluish red that has just enough blue in it so that it whispers color, rather than shouts. It's a comfy, livable red that is perfect for any room of the house." — Elaine Griffin
Check it out here.
Heart Throb, Sherwin-Williams
Megan Tatem
"It is a great true red. It's saturated and rich but also bright and cheerful. It works in both traditional spaces and modern spaces. I love to use it on anything from your front door to wainscoting to a whole room." — Jessica McClendon

Million Dollar Red, Benjamin Moore
Megan Tatem

Aniline Red, Benjamin Moore
Megan Tatem
"Red isn't the first color that comes to mind when thinking of cool color palettes, but I love the purple undertones in this one.

Check it out here.
Cut Ruby, Valspar
Megan Tatem
"For me, red can’t look too terra cotta or everyday: It has to feel glamorous and worldly. Valspar’s Cut Ruby is such a vibrant red." — Susanna Salk

Dragon's Blood, Benjamin Moore

25 of the Best Red Paint Color Options for Dining Rooms
Many dining rooms play it safe and stick with neutral colors. Let’s face it – that can get pretty boring.
Unless you’re planning on selling your home soon, experimenting with some bold colors that show your personality is a great idea. Red paint colors provide many opportunities to set a certain mood in your dining room.
It can be a very bold and in-your-face experience, an adventure into retro styling, or a stately affair. When I walk into a dining room that features red as one of its prominent colors, it transports me to a sophisticated and high-energy space where I can enjoy many amazing conversations over the dinner table. Here are the best red paint color options for dining rooms from Benjamin Moore, Behr, and Sherwin-Williams.
1. Red (2000-10)
Source: Benjamin Moore
The name of this painting might not be all that exciting, but the color itself is the epitome of the shade that comes to mind when someone says red. It’s bright, and bold, and adds a high-class touch to the dining room. It’s an excellent balance of making an impression without seeming too over-the-top and would work equally well for full dining room coverage, accenting, or as a feature wall or ceiling.
Pair it with black and white for a luxury finish.
2. Rapture (CC-66)
Source: Benjamin Moore
You enjoy things in moderation, whether they are your favorite food or your paint colors. Rapture is a red shade that can best be described as “medium red”. It’s a more muted color that nevertheless has a distinct and impactful hue, without dominating the entire room. This color can work well if you feel overwhelmed with a bold red for a full-room paint.
3. Mediterranean Spice (1337)
Source: Benjamin Moore
Taking a vacation to the Mediterranean is as much a delight for the eyes as anything else. This paint color is a deep and enchanting hue that sits perfectly between red and pink. It’s got broad appeal with a vibrant saturation, and could easily be carried into other areas of your home as well.
4. Hot Tamale (CSP-1155)
Source: Benjamin Moore
What’s better for a dining room than a paint color named after literal food? In addition to being thematically appropriate for this part of the house, it’s also a well-balanced red that is vibrant without being overwhelming.
If you want to go for a red in a smaller space, this is an appealing choice. The brightness helps your room look larger than it is, so it’s perfect for cramped dining rooms or those small dining nooks in townhomes.
5. Rosy Blush (2086-30)
Source: Benjamin Moore
Are you the kind of person that drinks La Croix as your sparkling water of choice? Much like La Croix has a fruit flavor that is a barely-there suggestion of what’s on the label, Rosy Blush has the slightest touch of red for a subtle effect for your dining room. If the rest of your house has a light and airy interior design style, this is the best red for the job.
6. Paper Lantern (CSP-1150)
Source: Benjamin Moore
This red shade is veering more towards the orange side of the spectrum, with a burnt orange appearance that makes a statement without screaming it at the top of its lungs. If you’re not sure whether you would enjoy adding red to your dining room, this is a relatively safe color to start off with.
7. Santa’s Suit (1336)
Source: Benjamin Moore
Look outside. Is it months past Christmas and your decorations are still out in the yard? Do you start planning your end-of-year holidays in July? Does someone have to drag you kicking and screaming away from the Christmas tree before it can come down for the year? Yeah, this color is for you.
This is a muted and classic red that looks like Santa’s Suit if it’s been covered with a slight dusting of snow. It might not come with presents, but it does help to promote the same holiday cheer energy in your dining room every day of the year. Plus, it makes the perfect backdrop for your Christmas card photos.
8. Cranberry Cocktail (2083-20)
Source: Benjamin Moore
You might not be able to drink this type of cranberry cocktail, but it does brighten up a room with a red shade that’s leaning toward the purple end of the spectrum. If you love the concept of a red dining room but find that the ones closer to the primary shade are too much for your liking, this paint color gives you a statement effect without being too much space.
The berry influences are apparent and it would work particularly well in a dining room that gets a lot of natural light.
9. Royal Flush (2076-20)
Source: Benjamin Moore
Fuchsia is fun to introduce into a more casual dining room, especially if you have a lot of laid-back get-togethers or host big family gatherings. Royal Flush is just starting to dive into the purple end of the spectrum, so it still has plenty of red to delight the senses and add energy to the room.
10. Million Dollar Red (2003-10)
Source: Benjamin Moore
This paint might be called Million Dollar Red, but thankfully that’s not how much it actually costs. Unless you’re trying to paint an entire city’s worth of dining rooms in it, at least. It’s a rich and luxurious red that would not look out of place in a dining room that is filled with rich mahogany furniture, fine china, and exceptional decor. Get the high-end look without having to sell your soul for overpriced real estate.
11.
No More Drama (P140-7)Source: Behr
Everyone could do with less drama in their lives in the age of social media. If you’re in love with the idea of red for your dining room, but you don’t want to add too much drama, you’re getting the perfect mix with this paint color. It’s a great introduction to red for your walls, and it’s a classic style that you won’t feel like painting over in a decade or so.
12. Timeless Ruby (HDC-CL-01)
Source: Behr
Everyone likes to talk about diamonds as the be-all, end-all gemstone, but have they ever looked at a ruby? It’s got a lot more going for it than some colorless piece of carbon, with a deep and enchanting hue that commands attention no matter how you use it. This darker red also contrasts nicely with other rich and vibrant hues, making it a great option for either the hero of the dining room or the sidekick.
13. Red Pepper (PPU2-02)
Source: Behr
Here’s another thematically appropriate red for those of you who love that sort of thing.
Don’t be fooled by the name, however. This color is what red pepper flakes look like when they are mixed in with black peppercorns. You get a warm, orange-leaning red that is an unexpectedly great color for the dining room. If you need to liven up a smaller space or one that feels too cold compared to the rest of the home, this is the paint color for you.
14. Whip Lash (P150-6)
Source: Behr
Some lipstick colors are enough to give everyone around you whiplash, as they do a double-take to see who that bold person is walking by. This color has much the same effect, with a bold and bright red that’s slightly more muted than your typical primary color red. By taking that one step back from a pure red shade, it manages to retain the big impact without searing your eyes.
15. Lingonberry Punch (M150-6)
Source: Behr
The name says lingonberry punch, but it’s also a good representative of a salmon color. This pink-leaning red is a soft and laid-back shade that grows on you the longer that you’re around it.
16. Stiletto Love (P160-7)
Source: Behr
There’s red, and then there’s Stiletto Love red. This is an intimate and sensual color that turns a drab dining room into the most romantic and intoxicating space you’ve ever experienced. If you have a bookshelf full of romance books, stock in a rose florist, and a closet of candles, you can have your perfect candlelit dinner every night.
17. Intrigue (P160-6)
Source: Behr
What color dining room does a retired spy have after a long life of daring adventures? Intrigue, of course! This bright red will lead your dinner guests to wonder what kind of secrets you’re hiding. Are you living a double life? Are you a jet setter spending all your time exploring uninhabited parts of the world? Maybe you’re the rarest person of all – someone that bought their own Netflix account instead of sharing one with family, friends, and a handful of exes.
18. Sugar Beet (M130-7)
Source: Behr
Sugar, spice, and everything nice is in this paint color.
Take red, and add a few generous shakes of purple, and you end up with Sugar Beet! It is very close to matching an actual beet’s color, so if you’re a fan of that rich and complex hue, you’re going to love this one.
19. Fire Cracker (PPU2-16)
Source: Behr
Tone red down a notch and then add some orange, and you end up with a delightfully complex red that is leaning towards burnt orange but is not quite there. It’s a toned-down addition to your dining room that will do great at being a full-room paint color. It’s not quite strong enough to be a good candidate for a dining room feature wall, however.
20. Positive Red (SW 6871)
Source: Sherwin-Williams
This versatile red shade is bright, cheery, and packs plenty of the promised positivity. It’s a fantastic hue to choose if your dining room set leans more modern, with crisp, white lines.
21. Real Red (SW 6868)
Source: Sherwin-Williams
Sherwin-Williams wants to make sure that no one has any confusion that this is the most real red they offer.
While it’s relatively close in shade to Positive Red, it has a bit more vibrancy that takes it to another level of boldness. You’ll want a strong contrasting or neutral color to balance it out so it doesn’t dominate the entire room, or opt for restricting it to a feature wall.
22. Heartthrob (SW 6866)
Source: Sherwin-Williams
Think about the way your high school crush made you feel back in the day. That color looks at how romance feels. Heartthrob is another red shade that is perfectly suited for a dining room that sees its fair share of romantic dinners, with plenty of passion in the air.
23. Radish (SW 6861)
Source: Sherwin-Williams
Radish continues to deliver on the food-related reds that Sherwin-Williams has in droves, and I’m certainly not complaining about it. This deeper red has a strong pink influence, which creates a well-balanced color that works as an accent splash, all overlook, or a single accent wall or ceiling.
You can have a lot of fun with this whimsical color without it becoming too much.
You may want to avoid it for a smaller dining room, however, as it might make those rooms seem smaller than they actually are.
24. Cherries Jubilee (SW 6862)
Source: Sherwin-Williams
Much like a burst of delicious cherry milkshake, Cherries Jubilee is a bright and refreshing choice for your dining room. It has a fair share of pink in it, lightening the color and making it more relaxed compared to deeper shades of red.
25. Show Stopper (SW 7588)
Source: Sherwin-Williams
Your dinner parties are known throughout your friend and family circles as must-attend events, you have a reputation for being an excellent host, and you have tastes that you refuse to compromise on. Show Stopper is the right red for your dining room, my friend.
It’s bright, bold, and filled with personality, much like yourself. You get the perfect backdrop for your primary meal plans and perfectly concocted cocktails, and it keeps the energy flowing to give everyone a second wind late into the night.

General rules for choosing color combinations in the interior of the dining room
A popular design trick when choosing color combinations is to highlight one main color.
- There are options when, when combining colors in a dining room, two main ones are brought to the main plan, and other tones are used as inclusions. It is important that the main colors are in harmony with each other.
- For small dining rooms, use combinations of light and cool tones, as they visually increase the space.
- For large dining spaces, combine dark colors with medium saturation and bright colors. Furniture in this case, it is better to choose two-tone. nine0006
Dining room color can be chosen 1, but using its different shades. Then the situation will not merge into one whole and it will be possible to highlight the desired accents.
Selection of textures and patterns
- Mirror and glossy surfaces will make the dining room not only bigger, but also more airy. Glossy shine will also create a feeling of cleanliness.
- Mirrors with facet will look impressive - you can decorate one of the walls, the ceiling or make a panel with them. nine0006
- Use large patterns and textures in large dining rooms, and for small rooms, choose small patterns and textures - with their help, the dining room will seem larger.
- The ceiling will appear higher if vertical stripes are used, and the room will appear wider if horizontal stripes are used.
- Do not use intricate patterns in the dining room, especially those that look like they are rotating (optical illusions).
Such a decision will not promote a good appetite and constructive conversations during meals. nine0006 - The texture should also be unobtrusive, best in combination with a light color.
We offer you to consider the color options for the kitchen-dining room, as well as their winning combinations.
Basic colors
- White
A white dining room will look elegant and airy. White goes well with all tones and sets the contrast. The most popular combinations with black, red and blue tone. As the color of the ceilings in the dining room, white is most often chosen. nine0003
- Black
Even though black also goes well with all colours, don't make it the dominant color in the dining room.
It will psychologically overload some people, and in the dining room you want to eat in a comfortable environment. Duets of black with red, white, pink, green are acceptable in the dining room.
- Gray
To keep a gray dining room from looking boring, don't make classic gray the main tone. This is an amateur decision. Gray will fit into almost any environment. Effectively complement the design of the dining room in gray pink, blue and purple. A rather interesting design solution is a gray dining room (in the manner of a black and white photograph) and one or more bright objects, for example, pink.
- Beige
Beige is the most compromise among the entire palette. It's hard to go wrong when using it. It is unobtrusive and goes well with many tones, but is best with peach, blue and brown. The beige color of the walls in the dining room does not distract attention and creates a feeling of comfort.

Dining room in blue is associated with the freshness of the sea and the energy of the water element. Mediterranean notes will give it such colors: olive, light green, turquoise, azure, blue, white, and also beige.
Violet color has long been considered royal, as it was often used in the interior of palaces. It will give the dining room chic and elegance. However, it is important not to overdo it.
The dominant deep purple color can be psychologically overwhelming, and in small dining rooms it will hide space. It is successfully combined with gray, yellow, golden, green, black and white.
Sunny yellow color will make the dining room bright and juicy. It will give a feeling of summer warmth all year round, be associated with the harvest and improve mood. Yellow is successfully combined with orange, blue, white, purple and gray. Most often, it does not dominate, but is used in combination with other colors.

It is recommended not to make it a dominant tone, but to be paired with the following colors: black, white, gold, light peach, gray or silver.
Intermediate colors
