Indian red is a soft, muted red with strong brown undertones. It's earthy and natural-looking, much softer than bright reds.
Originally named after a red pigment from India made from iron oxide. Native American pottery also featured this earthy red. It's been used in art for thousands of years.
Indian red is perfect for organic brands, pottery, and southwestern designs. It works well in home decor and pairs beautifully with turquoise and cream. Good for backgrounds that need warmth without intensity.
