Boston Brick
At first glance, Boston Brick belongs to the red family; in a room, light and context can make it far more elusive. A red undertone may emerge most clearly where the paint meets a cleaner white, stone surface or contrasting textile. The manufacturer marks it as a best-selling color, though the most important test is still how it feels in your own room.
