From Deep Crimsons to Bright Scarlets: Why Choose ktCOLOR Reds

With the red paint colors crafted by hand in Switzerland by ktCOLOR, you can create stylish effects, from energetic and dynamic to calming, relaxing, and elegant. It all depends on the pigments: ktCOLOR does not use conventional red tinting pastes, but brilliant Ferrari red, or a natural earth pigment from Venice, or a rare and beautiful burgundy red. Take advantage of these most powerful pigments for your living spaces!

Ludwig Wittgenstein noted, in his philosophical remarks on the logic of color notations, that the terms dark red and blackish red are not “the same sort of concept”. “A ruby can appear dark red when one looks through it, but if it is transparent, it cannot look blackish-red.” This color, which arises when raw umber – but not black – is added to DPP-ruby red pigment, confirms this observation: it is physically and optically a spectacular dark red. The color’s richness is even more tangible in the shadows.
