Carmine is a bright red color obtained from the aluminium complex derived from carminic acid, which is extracted from some scale insects such as the cochineal.
It is a deep red color that is very slightly purplish but generally closer to red than crimson.
Carmine color can be used in the interior to create a dramatic and elegant effect.
It can be paired with neutral colors such as white, gray, or beige to balance its intensity and create contrast.
It can also be combined with other warm colors such as orange, yellow, or pink to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere.
Carmine color can be used as an accent color on walls, furniture, curtains, rugs, or pillows to add a touch of richness and sophistication to any room.
Carmine color can also be used to highlight architectural features such as fireplaces, moldings, or columns.
