I wish to mimic the traditional swedish summer house colour Falu Red for a DIY project at home but I cannot buy the traditional Falu or Falun Red paint – so does anyone know the colour or tint that would be closest so I can get the paint shop to mix me up a similar colour?
I'm hoping to walk into a standard paint shop and give them the details (from an answer, here) and the shop can then magically mix up a pot that's very very very similar 🙂

Sherwin Williams SW 2914 Vermilion is as close to Falu Red as I have been able to find. On a computer screen they are nearly indistinguishable. My local Home Depot was able to make me a Behr Premium Plus Deep Base PP103 color sample of SW 2914. Its a LOT cheaper than Sherwin Williams!
