Wine Tasting

Behr · S-H-110

The Analysis

Wine Tasting is a deep, saturated berry tone that absorbs a significant amount of light due to its low LRV of 8.21. Because it pulls light in rather than reflecting it, the room will feel smaller, more intimate, and grounded.

This is best used as a bold accent color or a 'color-drenched' choice for a dedicated space like a library or powder room. Using it as a wall-to-wall color in a main living area can feel overwhelming unless you are aiming for a high-drama, moody aesthetic.

LRV 8

History & Origin

This shade leans into a classic, sophisticated heritage aesthetic often found in Victorian-era studies or formal dining rooms. It carries a sense of weight and luxury that feels established and permanent rather than temporary or trendy.

How to Use It

Pair this with warm walnut wood tones and brushed brass hardware to balance the cool undertones of the berry hue. It works best in rooms with controlled lighting, such as a media room or a bedroom, where you want to minimize glare.

The Mood

This color provides a restful and cozy atmosphere, making it ideal for spaces where you want to unwind in the evening. It creates a weighted, secure feeling that is much more soothing than bright or energizing colors.

Colour harmonies

Complementary

Opposite on the colour wheel — bold, high-contrast pairings. Use for a feature wall or furniture you want to command attention.

Analogous

Neighbouring hues — cohesive and calm, great for layered schemes that feel collected rather than matched.

Split complementary

Near-opposites for strong contrast with a little less tension than a pure complement. A favourite of interior designers.

Triadic

Three evenly spaced hues — balanced, vibrant, and versatile. Keep one dominant and use the others sparingly.

Tetradic (square)

Four hues in a square on the wheel — rich, dynamic palettes. Best when one colour leads and the others accent.

Monochromatic

Dark, mid, and light steps on the same hue — a failsafe gradient for trim, walls, and accents without shifting colour family.
