barn red
Rural building color
Barn red is a deep, rusty red-brown color traditionally used to paint barns in rural America.
The distinctive hue originally came from mixing iron oxide (rust) or animal blood with linseed oil—cheap ingredients that also protected wood from decay.
The color now evokes rustic charm and country aesthetics: a barn red farmhouse table, shutters painted barn red.
