Colour Story
Why Cape red endures
Cape red occupies a rare point in the colour spectrum — precise enough to feel intentional, versatile enough to shift completely with the light throughout the day.
At LRV 30.9, Cape red is a deep, atmospheric colour. It works best in well-lit rooms or as a dramatic accent.
The NCS formula S 2070-R captures this precisely — and our trade partners can mix it to order at a fraction of the original price.
Insider Secret
The same NCS. Different names.
The formula S 2070-R exists across multiple premium brands under completely different names. The colour is identical. The price is not.
