Badshahi Mosque Red
In the heart of Lahore, where history breathes through every stone, the Badshahi Mosque stands tall — a magnificent symbol of Mughal architecture, reverence, and regal design. Built from deep red sandstone that glows under the sun and softens under twilight, the mosque’s commanding presence has inspired millions over centuries. It is from this heritage that Berger Paints brings you Badshahi Red — a bold, royal red paint shade inspired by the mosque’s iconic façade. This color reflects not only strength and passion but also tradition, artistry, and Pakistani cultural pride.

Inspired by Mughal Grandeur
Commissioned in 1673 by Emperor Aurangzeb, the badshahi masjid was designed to embody the might of the Mughal Empire. With its large prayer courtyard, elegant domes, and commanding minarets, its design is a testament to precision, power, and beauty. But what leaves the deepest impression is its color — a stunning red that defines its identity from every angle. Badshahi Red captures that same powerful hue, echoing the brilliance of the badshahi masjid lahore. This is not just red — it’s a color of devotion, strength, and nobility. Berger has translated this rich tone into a paint that adds boldness and character to any wall it touches.

Designing with Badshahi Mosque Red
Perfect for accent walls, feature spaces, or creative focal points, Badshahi Red transforms any room into a conversation piece. Whether you’re styling a modern lounge, a traditional study, or a commercial gallery, this deep red brings richness and depth. Pair it with neutral tones, off-white trims, gold fixtures, or wooden finishes to balance its intensity while allowing its elegance to shine. Just as the mosque’s red sandstone is complemented by white marble inlay, your space too can reflect layered sophistication.

From Historic Monument to Modern Mood
One glance at any badshahi mosque photo and you’ll feel the grandeur, the symmetry, and the timeless grace that only red stone can convey. That very feeling is what Berger’s Badshahi Red brings into interiors — a link between your present space and centuries of royal heritage. This is the kind of color that doesn’t just decorate — it tells a story. It echoes history. It honors tradition. The badshahi mosque is not just an architectural icon; it’s a cultural symbol. It's the backdrop of national celebrations, historic declarations, and family memories. For many, flipping through old badshahi mosque photos is like revisiting a part of their soul. Badshahi Red gives you a piece of that soul — allowing you to carry the emotion and pride of the mosque’s red sandstone into your personal or professional environment.
