What Color Is New England Brick, Really?
New England Brick reads as a warm red tone — dark — high drama, needs strong daylight or warm bulbs. The notes below cover how Behr PPF-20 behaves in different light and the closest matches at competing US brands.
Best Rooms and Uses for New England Brick
New England Brick works best as a feature — a single wall, built-ins, a study or dining room — rather than wrapping a whole bright space. Browns ground a room and pair naturally with leather, wood and warm metals.
How Lighting Changes New England Brick
With an LRV of 21, New England Brick is a deep, dramatic shade. It soaks up light in north-facing rooms and looks richest where strong daylight hits it. Its red undertone is the part to watch: it gets picked up by whatever sits next to it, so test it against your trim, floor and the room's main light before committing. Warm artificial light softens it; cool LED can make it look flat, so match your bulbs to the mood you want.
Most complaints about New England Brick are a light mismatch. Upload a photo of your actual room and see it on your walls — then ask for the same wall in north light or evening lamps before you buy a single sample.
Need It From Another Brand?
