Farrow & Ball

Cinder Rose

No. 246

Cinder Rose is a muted pink with gray undertones that reduce its saturation and pull it away from typical rose tones. With an LRV of 66.3, it reflects a moderate amount of light and keeps rooms feeling open without appearing washed out. The overall temperature leans warm, but the low chroma prevents it from reading overly sweet, which makes it more practical in living areas and bedrooms.

In north-facing rooms, cooler daylight tends to bring out the gray base more clearly. Pairing it with Pointing or Joa's White from Farrow & Ball maintains a quiet, cohesive backdrop, while Green Smoke or Studio Green provide a complementary contrast that draws out the warmth in the pink.

Cinder Rose 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.
