A very deep, cool-toned dark red with a rich, wine-like character. DMC #814 is the second darkest shade in the garnet family — densely pigmented with strong blue-red undertones, delivering a color that reads as deep burgundy-garnet and functions as a powerful shadow and anchor tone in dark red palettes.
