Garnet red is a rich, deep, dark red color slightly softer than burgundy. Named after the popular January birthstone, this hue takes its name from the Middle English word gernet (dark red), and is used in everything from fine jewelry to interior design and automotive finishes.
The Gemstone
The traditional red garnet derives its deep, wine-colored hue from iron and magnesium. Historically popular in Victorian-era jewelry, natural red garnets typically range in price from about $10 to several hundred dollars for loose stones, depending on the cut and carat weight.
Color Specifications
In color theory and design, garnet red sits in the dark red spectrum. If you are looking to use this color in digital design or printing, its hex code is typically #9A2A2A, though specific paint or fashion swatches can vary slightly depending on the brand.
Interior Design
In interior design, garnet red is often used to add dramatic depth without the overpowering intensity of a true bright red. It is frequently utilized in accent pieces like chairs, rugs, and pillows, or as a rich wall color in bohemian-style rooms or romantic bedrooms.
