Hex values are display approximations from Rodda's published swatch tools — not guaranteed to match a physical sample under controlled lighting. Order a brand-direct sample before specifying.

All ten reds mix to order at Rodda's own stores across Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Alaska, typically into the Horizon interior line for walls and trim. There's no national retail channel behind them.

Outside the PNW, every color here has a published hex and LRV, so a national brand can color-match the exact brick or wine tone at their own counter.

Rodda Reds by Room

Each room page shows red picks from every US brand side by side — Rodda included — so you can compare in context.

These reds are built for accents and small doses, not whole-house walls. A dining room or a single accent wall can carry Essence (R117) or Hypnotic (R118) without feeling heavy. The deeper bricks and wines — Cayenne (CA218), Ardent Red (R124), Red Agave (R123) — work well as a front door, a powder room, or cabinetry, where a rich, dark red reads confident in a small space.

Under the Pacific Northwest's grey, diffused daylight, these muted reds tend to hold their warmth well and avoid looking garish, which is part of why they read as considered picks rather than a bright, attention-grabbing red.

What Rodda Reds Actually Look Like

Rodda's red family runs ten colors, and every single one is dark and muted — there's no bright fire-engine or cherry red in this deck. LRV tops out at 19 with Essence (R117) and bottoms at 7 with Autumn Maple (CA228), so the whole family lives in brick, wine, and clay-red territory rather than anything saturated.

Essence (R117, LRV 19) and Hypnotic (R118, LRV 16) are the lightest, dusty mauve-reds with a grayed-down, almost antique quality. The rest — Saffron (CA217), Cayenne (CA218), Ardent Red (R124), Mission Fig (R120), Cerise (CA221), Red Agave (R123), Apple of Grenada (R125), and Autumn Maple (CA228) — all sit in a tight LRV 7-10 band, deep brick and wine tones that read closer to a dark neutral than a classic red.

Reading a Family That's All Dark and Muted

Because nine of the ten colors cluster between LRV 7 and 10, this family rewards comparing undertone more than brightness. Cerise (CA221, LRV 8) and Mission Fig (R120, LRV 9) lean toward a plum-wine cast. Saffron (CA217, LRV 9) and Cayenne (CA218, LRV 9), despite the names, read as a warm brick-red rather than a spice-orange or bright yellow.

Red Agave (R123, LRV 10) and Ardent Red (R124, LRV 9) sit close together as classic deep bricks. Autumn Maple (CA228, LRV 7) is the darkest of all, nearly a wine-black. If you want a red with any real light bounce, Essence (R117, LRV 19) is the only genuinely lighter option in the family.

Pairing With Rodda Neutrals

Pair any of these dark reds with a Rodda white or light neutral for contrast — a wall in Red Agave (R123) or Ardent Red (R124) reads best against crisp trim rather than another dark color.

These reds also sit close in family to Rodda's browns; Autumn Maple (CA228) in particular could pass for a dark brown depending on the light, so it pairs naturally with the brand's leather and chestnut tones for a warm, layered room.

The Questions Everyone Asks

Does Rodda make a bright, true red?

No. Every color in Rodda's red family is muted and dark — the lightest, Essence (R117), sits at LRV 19, and most of the rest cluster between LRV 7 and 10. These are brick, wine, and clay-red tones, not a saturated fire-engine or cherry red.

What's the darkest red Rodda makes?

Autumn Maple (CA228) at LRV 7, a deep, almost wine-black red that reads closer to a dark neutral than a classic red in most lighting. Cerise (CA221) and Apple of Grenada (R125), both LRV 8, are close behind.

Which Rodda red is the lightest?

Essence (R117) at LRV 19 is the lightest and most usable-as-a-wall-color option in the family, a dusty mauve-red with a grayed-down, antique quality. Hypnotic (R118, LRV 16) is the next lightest, a shade darker but still well above the tight LRV 7-10 cluster that makes up the rest of the family.

Is a Rodda red a good front door color?

Yes, that's one of the strongest uses for this family. Deep bricks like Ardent Red (R124), Cayenne (CA218), and Red Agave (R123) read rich and confident as a door color, standing out against a lighter house without going bright or garish.

Should I use a Rodda red on a whole wall or just an accent?

Given how dark this family runs, most of these colors work better as an accent wall, door, or small room like a dining room or powder room than as an every-wall interior color. Essence (R117), the lightest at LRV 19, is the most forgiving choice if you do want a full wall.

Where can I buy Rodda red paint?

Through Rodda's own roughly 55 stores across Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Alaska — find your nearest one at roddapaint.com. Outside that footprint, any of these colors can be color-matched by hex at a national paint brand's counter.
