Red Door~and I don't mean Elizabeth Arden's

Somebody mentioned the lack of red refrigerators through the years. So a few reference pics cos I'm about to embark on a Red (or red-tone) fridge project myself!

Photo #3:  Wow! There's a kitchen that'll knock you wide awake in the morning.

A little eye poppin'....

ain't it? Who needs a cup of coffee in the morning when you've got a room like that.

For pic #3 you need to walk into the kitchen with your shades on otherwise you're liable to being blinded by it's brightness.

One would hope that maybe it was an accent to add a pop of color but when I went back to it..... alas I was wrong. (OH MY!) It's giving me palpitations just thinking what the rest of the kitchen looks like. lmao

I like that shade of red in #3, though a whole kitchen in it might give me migraines.

I love picture #1 and that Coldspot in reply #1; not sure I could do a red kitchen though.

There is a particular red I'm on the hunt for...

It was used on some late 50s high end furniture pieces and was called "sunset orange". Very similar to what you see in the shot with the white tulip chair dinette set. Was going to try replicating it for SubZero panels...

Sunset Orange

It looks like a leatherette finish - like sponge painting or other technique in the picture. I'd get myself a color wheel (the big fan deck) from various paint companies to match it - they have dozens of similar shades (similar to each other) which may match. You may have to find something like a picture or small item and get a custom match though too.
