This hue is inspired by the crimson of traditional red velvet theater curtains, a color long associated with luxury, drama, and anticipation. The rich shade owes its depth to both dye and texture—velvet’s dense pile reflects light unevenly, creating a natural play of shadow and sheen. The tradition of red stage curtains dates back centuries, chosen for their ability to conceal stains, evoke grandeur, and draw the audience’s eye toward the stage. This sumptuous red embodies elegance and spectacle, the moment just before the lights dim and the story begins.
