Art for red, burgundy and pink walls

Warm walls glow in lamplight and hold strong colour well. Burgundy wants contrast; dusky pink is easier than it looks and takes greens and earthy tones.

Colours that sit well on red, burgundy and pink walls

Cream

Olive

Ink blue

Ochre

Sage

Gold and dark wood suit burgundy; natural wood and brass suit pink and terracotta. A white mount sharpens the art on any of them.

Contrast on burgundy, greens on pink

On a deep red wall, art with a pale ground, cream or ochre, stands out the way books and brass do in a library. Navy and olive also hold their own. Dusky pink and terracotta are warm and soft, and green is their natural partner: sage, olive, a botanical study.

Frames

Gold, brass and dark wood suit burgundy. Natural wood and brass keep pink and terracotta warm; black gives a crisper, more modern edge.

A real example

We measured the wall from the photo, then made eight pieces from the room's colours. These are the ones the curator chose, with its reason under each.
