OXBLOOD
Oxblood, curated in collaboration with Christine Nordhaus, is part of the Salt of the Earth Collection, a New England-inspired palette rooted in the region’s landscape, history, architecture, and agricultural heritage. Created with a deep sense of place, the collection draws from the weathered, cultivated, and enduring colors found throughout the New England countryside.
Oxblood is a deep, earthen red with brown and wine-dark undertones. Saturated without feeling bright, it recalls aged leather, old brick, dried berries, and the dark red patina of historic interiors.
