Popular Reds For Tinting Masonry Paint
Although bold red masonry paints are less frequently used in the UK. For instance, red masonry paint is more commonly found in seaside locations. If your neighbours go for primary colours such as blues and yellows, red would not look out of place. However, if your village or harbour sticks to the traditional pastel shades, red masonry paint could literally make your house stick out like a sore thumb! So if pastel shades are used, we would recommend either subtle pink masonry paint or a red oxide. Either that or a more neutral shade of red.
For example, there are many UK towns which use bright masonry paints. For instance, you can find red houses in Tobermory, Isle of Mull, Bristol or Llundudno.
In addition, below we have made a list of tints. For example, these are from popular colour charts to help you get the best colour for your property:
