Farrow & Ball

Bisque

No. 9811

Bisque is a warm red with orange-pink undertones that can read more коралловый in bright daylight. With an LRV of 54.5, it sits mid-light and usually stays readable on full walls without becoming too dark. It is often used in dining rooms, living areas, or as an accent where a warmer hue is needed.

For neutral balance, Skimming Stone helps reduce contrast and keeps adjacent walls quiet. For stronger contrast, Hague Blue provides a deeper blue anchor, while Setting Plaster and Red Earth keep the palette in a related warm range.

Bisque in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
