A front door in Ruby red changes the entire read of a facade without requiring a renovation. The color is strong enough to register from the street but refined enough not to feel like a statement for its own sake. It's the "handshake" of the home.

See how Ruby red is used in narrow hallways to create a "gallery" feel. The color provides a steady, rhythmic background that allows a series of framed photos or art pieces to feel like a cohesive, professional installation.
