Fake Tan

No. 9912

Fake Tan is a warm mid-tone neutral with yellow and brown undertones that lean slightly towards caramel. Its LRV of 68.1 means it reflects a moderate amount of light -- enough to keep a room feeling open without washing out. It works as a wall colour in living rooms or dining areas and can also serve as a warm trim tone in lighter schemes.

The yellow-brown base makes it compatible with both cool and warm accents. Farrow & Ball colours that pair well include White Tie, New White, Setting Plaster, Dead Salmon, and Hague Blue.

Fake Tan 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.
