Common questions

How many red paint colors does PPG Paints have?

PPG Paints publishes 125 red paint colors in the palettes it makes available, and all of them are listed on this page with their color code, hex value, RGB, Light Reflectance Value and undertone.

What is the paint code for a red color on this page?

Every swatch shows its manufacturer code beneath the name - PPG Paints FRESCO is PPG1185-1, for example. That code is what a store mixes from, and it is unique to its brand: the same code at another manufacturer is an unrelated color.

Which PPG Paints red paint colors suit a dark room?

The ones with a high Light Reflectance Value, which is the percentage of light a color reflects. These red colors run from LRV 6.0 (PPG Paints ENCHANTING EGGPLANT) to LRV 75.0 (PPG Paints FRESCO); above 60 keeps a room bright, below 30 reads as a deep color and absorbs the light a dark room has left.

Are these red paint colors warm or cool?

Both - 125 of the 125 are warm and 0 are cool, with the rest neutral. The label is computed from each color's hue angle and chroma in CIE L*a*b*, not from its name, so it can be compared across brands. Warm red suits north-facing rooms, cool red suits rooms that already get strong afternoon light.

What is the equivalent of a PPG Paints red color in another brand?

Open any swatch on this page. It lists the closest color in each of the other brands with a ΔE00 figure - perceived color difference, where under 1.0 is indistinguishable side by side and above 4 is visible across a room. The comparison covers published color values only, not sheen, base or coverage.

Is this the PPG Paints red shade card?

It is the same information, online and searchable. Where a printed shade card or colour chart gives you a chip and a name, every red swatch here carries its code, hex, RGB, LRV and undertone, and its nearest equivalents at the other brands - with nothing to download and no fan deck to order.
