I’ve been looking at reds to paint one big wall that goes from the parlor floor upstairs. I know there’s more than one One Red Walled apt in Brownstone Brooklyn — what color/brand did you use?

I though Benjamin Moore’s “Candycane” might be the one, but it’s a bit cold. BM Tricycle was too orange. BM Exotic Red, too pink. Those are the three I’ve actually tried on the wall. Farrow & Ball’s Rectory Red looks pretty gorgeous on the swatch, but I’m loathe to spend the big bucks. Anybody used Pratt and Lambert? PL Red Statement and Candy Apple look good to me…but then Pintchik doesn’t mix that brand there, and they were out of stock. HELP!
