Calling red “the color of creation”, Frank Lloyd Wright proposed that the Guggenheim Museum be constructed with red marble walls, long slim pottery red bricks, and weathered green copper banding.
Frank Lloyd Wright was known for using a brownish red he called Cherokee Red
Cherokee Red was not one exact color but a whole range of reddish hues made with iron oxide, some dark and some more vivid.
Cherokee Red harmonizes interior rooms with the natural colors of brick and wood.
Frank Lloyd Wright’s signature Cherokee Red concrete floors extend beyond the walls and become steps and outdoor decks.
