How they read
In their own wordsAdventurer No. 7 is a deep plum from Little Greene, named the brand's Colour of the Year for 2026. A stockist describes it as "a majestic and calming aubergine", and the editorial coverage in Galerie, Livingetc, Domino and Ideal Home treats it as a moody, enveloping dark.
Southwest Pottery 048 is a deep clay red from Benjamin Moore's Classics collection, described by the brand as "a nuanced hue that captures the brown and red tones of kiln-fired clay". Its LRV is 16.56, so it is a properly deep colour.
