Cardinal is a striking paint color that brings vibrant energy and bold sophistication to interior spaces. This rich bright red creates dramatic focal points and adds warmth with its distinctive, commanding presence.
Cardinal is a bright red that may have gotten its name from the cassocks worn by Catholic cardinals (although the color worn by cardinals is scarlet). The cardinal bird is also named after cardinal bishops. The first recorded use of cardinal as a color name in English was in 1698.
This distinguished heritage makes Cardinal paint color an excellent choice for creating interiors with depth, tradition, and bold visual impact.
