Farrow & Ball

Copenhagen Roof

No. 9816

Copenhagen Roof is a warm mid-toned red with brown undertones that pull it away from pure red toward a more muted terracotta direction. At an LRV of 43.6 it sits in a moderate range, absorbing enough light to register as clearly colored but still reflecting enough to avoid feeling heavy. It can work on feature walls in living rooms or dining areas where warmth is the goal.

Jitney and Dimity from Farrow & Ball offer lighter neutral companions for balance, while Red Earth or Preference Red provide analogous depth. For cooler contrast, Railings or Hague Blue set off its warmth effectively.

Copenhagen Roof 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.
