A 'tertiary' paint colour

Russet = mostly red + little blue and yellow

Colour/Hue - RUSSET

(Mostly red with a little blue and yellow paint)

Tint – add white

Lower value – add shade/black

Tone – add contrasting colour to make a warm  grey

Russet is made when you mix the three primary paint colours together - mostly red with a little yellow and blue

Or orange (red and yellow)

And purple (red and blue )

2 parts red, 1 part yellow, 1 part blue

If they were equally mixed then you would have the perfect grey

Rosalie Russet brings the energy of red to our space.

It is perfect to use to warm a space in winter.
