What Color Is Hideaway, Really?
Hideaway reads as a warm red tone — very dark — reads black in most rooms. The notes below cover how Kompozit 0137 behaves in different light and the closest matches at competing US brands.
Best Rooms and Uses for Hideaway
Hideaway earns its keep as a statement: accent walls, a front door, cabinetry, a moody powder room, or exterior trim where you want sharp contrast. Browns ground a room and pair naturally with leather, wood and warm metals.
How Lighting Changes Hideaway
At LRV 7, Hideaway is about as dark as paint gets — it reads near-black on a wall and reveals its character only in direct daylight or under warm bulbs. 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. In rooms with little natural light it can feel heavy, so reserve it for spaces you want to feel enveloping.
Most complaints about Hideaway 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?
