Farrow & Ball

Bombazine

No. 9902

Bombazine is a warm neutral with soft yellow undertones that give it a slightly creamy, straw-like quality on walls. With an LRV of 83.8, it reflects a high amount of light and reads as a warm off-white rather than a pronounced color. It works well in living rooms, bedrooms, and kitchens where a warm base tone is needed without shifting fully into yellow.

For cohesion, it sits comfortably alongside Farrow & Ball's White Tie and Slipper Satin, while deeper tones like Studio Green or Hague Blue provide contrast. Softer companions such as Pale Powder and Green Blue can extend the palette without competing.

Bombazine 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.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
