Farrow & Ball

Cola

No. 9918

Cola is a deep warm brown with a noticeable red undertone that keeps it from reading as purely neutral. At an LRV of 26.1 it absorbs most of the light in a room and will feel noticeably dark on larger surfaces. It works well in studies, dining rooms, or accent applications where a grounded darker tone is needed.

Pairing it with Wimborne White or Slipper Satin at the trim and ceiling maintains contrast without harshness. Jitney and Hay offer warm mid-tone companions on adjacent walls, while Hague Blue or Bancha can deepen a scheme that already leans rich and saturated.
