VINCENTIA

This colour is an old, beautiful colour reminiscent of dark terracotta, but with lovely pink and brown tones. The mixture of red and ochre creates a rich shade that appears calm and serious and leaves a strong impression. Used in castles, town houses and sacred buildings, this colour was often combined with gold and white or used as a background for pictures and mirrors. This very grounded colour is suitable for all living areas that need to be highlighted without being obtrusive. However, it is not advisable to paint all the walls from floor to ceiling in all of these living areas with this colour, but rather to create contrasts with light – even white – surfaces. In this way, Vincentia can unfold its best effect without appearing too dark or serious. In combination with light wood, the overall look is thoroughly modern. When using Vincentia, it is also advisable to ensure a harmonious lighting concept so that the different colour nuances create the desired moods. Green plants can also be spectacularly showcased against this background. Alternatively, Vincentia can be complemented with Theodora and Josephine to achieve a softer tone of the dominant reddish brown.
