Falu red or falun red is a dye that is used in a deep red paint well known for its use on wooden cottages and barns.
The paint originated historically from various copper mines in Sweden. The traditional colour remains popular today due to its effectiveness in preserving wood.
In Finland, it is known as punamulta (red earth) after the pigment, very finely divided hematite.
Since the binder is starch, the paint is permeable to water.
