Farrow & Ball

Deep Reddish Brown

No. W101

Deep Reddish Brown is a dark brown with noticeable red undertones that give it a warm, earthy weight. With an LRV of 30, it absorbs a fair amount of light and reads as a strong, grounding tone on walls, particularly in studies or dining rooms where a lower-key atmosphere is appropriate. The red in its base becomes more apparent under warm lighting.

Joa's White or Dimity can lighten a scheme without clashing, while Elephant's Breath or Skimming Stone offer a softer mid-tone transition. For deeper contrast, Hague Blue works well on adjacent surfaces.
