Farrow & Ball

Eating Room Red

No. 43

Eating Room Red by Farrow & Ball is a deep, warm red with noticeable brown undertones that keep it from reading too bright or primary. Its hex value is #8B4D4F and its LRV is 35.4, placing it on the darker side of the spectrum, so it absorbs a fair amount of light. This makes it a practical option for dining rooms or smaller sitting areas where a lower-lit, enclosed feel is appropriate.

It works well alongside Pointing or Dimity to lighten a scheme, and pairs with deeper tones like Hague Blue or Green Smoke for contrast.
