Swanky Party Room: Floor A garage update includes painting the concrete grey floor deep bronze. From "Fresh Coat" episode DFCT-304

Figure A

To warm up Nadine Burke's stark grey concrete garage floor, the crew paints it a deep bronze and then rolls on two bright colors, a rich red in the cinema area and bright orange under the billiard table (figure A). This will help break up the space by turning one long rectangle into two graphic squares with a rich backdrop.
