Pimento Glow No. 34

Pimento Glow No. 34 brings energy into a room without ever raising its voice. This warm spice red has more depth than a classic red, with a hint of brown running through it. On one wall it feels rich; on all four, it wraps around you.

The character of this spice red

Red with a muted, slightly brownish undertone, like dried paprika: that's the essence of Pimento Glow No. 34. It has none of the blue that makes a red feel cool and fashionable, instead leaning clearly toward warmth. In plenty of daylight, the tone opens up and turns more vivid, almost orange near the window. As the light fades, it settles into a deep, calm terracotta. Painted in matte, the surface reads soft and closed, which takes the edge off the red.

Where a rich red works

In the living room, one wall in Pimento Glow No. 34 is usually enough — ideally the one without a window, so the tone doesn't have to fight the backlight. In the dining room and kitchen it feels appetising and sociable, and there it can handle more surface too. Bedrooms work if you're after warmth rather than coolness, with the wall behind the bed as the right spot. A hallway without daylight benefits, too, since warm tones don't turn dull in low light there. North light makes the red a touch more serious and darker, while south light lets it glow — then even a smaller surface is enough.

Which finish suits Pimento Glow

re-box base one, the matte interior paint, is the calm go-to choice for living rooms and bedrooms. In the kitchen, where splashes and steam are part of daily life, re-box silk matte makes more sense: silky matte, especially hard-wearing and very easy to clean. For kitchen fronts, a door or a sideboard in the same red, you don't reach for wall paint but for Pimento Glow No. 34 Lack, based on the re-box protect furniture and multi-surface lacquer.

Red neighbours and materials

From the Red family, several tones pair well with this spice red. Ochre Flame No. 23 pulls the warmth toward ochre and suits the adjoining room. Château Rose No. 38 sets a lighter, softer note beside it. Velours Shade No. 22 mutes it down, while Berry Veil No. 21 cools it off. Among materials, terracotta carries the tone further, unbleached cotton holds space between the colours, and dark metal on lamps or shelving gives the rich red the edge it needs.

Preparation and application

Clean, dry, load-bearing, free of loose particles — that's how the surface needs to be. Fill drill holes and cracks beforehand with re-box repair filler, then sand smooth. On fresh or highly absorbent plaster, prime first; this improves drying and lowers consumption. With a bold red, careful masking pays off twice over, since any bleed-through shows immediately: Masking correctly without paint bleed explains the technique. For the kitchen, Painting a kitchen: guide, cost, colour sets out the right order of steps. After around 24 hours, the room can usually be used normally again.

How much red belongs in your basket

With two coats, 2,5 L covers approx. 8 to 10 m², 5 L approx. 15 to 20 m², and 10 L approx. 30 to 40 m². For a single accent wall, the small tin is usually right. On very dark or strongly coloured surfaces, you'll need more.

Individually mixed, delivered in 3 to 5 working days

Pimento Glow No. 34 is only mixed after you place your order. From receipt of payment, it takes 3 to 5 working days, with delivery within Germany.

Common questions about Pimento Glow No. 34

Is Pimento Glow No. 34 a bright, loud red?
No, the brownish undertone takes away its signal-like intensity. It reads as rich and warm, but never shrill.

Can a small room handle this much red?
Yes, if you use it deliberately. One wall or the alcove behind a shelf is usually enough, leaving the rest of the surfaces light.

Does this tone suit a kitchen?
Yes, in the kitchen and dining area this spice red feels especially fitting. There, the silky matte version is more practical, since it cleans very well.

How much paint do I need for a 12 m² accent wall?
For 12 m² with two coats, choose the 5-litre tin, covering approx. 15 to 20 m². The small tin would fall short.

Is Pimento Glow No. 34 also available as a lacquer?
Yes, the same shade is also available for furniture and wood.
