Falu red (#801818) is a deep warm shade that appears across 2 master palettes in our corpus, most prominently in the work of Andrea Solario and the High Renaissance tradition. Master painters paired it most often with Camel (#C19A6B), Alice blue (#F0F8FF), and Space cadet (#1D2951). The combination forms an earthy, lived-in chord, built on a split-complementary spread, plays the source warmth against cooler companions for visible contrast, with a moderate step up in value that keeps the source recessed.
