Farrow & Ball

Fruit Fool

No. 9911

Fruit Fool is a warm, muted red with clear peach and pink undertones that keep it from reading as a pure red on the wall. With an LRV of 56.4, it holds a mid-range reflectance that lets it carry warmth without darkening a room significantly. It reads well in dining rooms and living areas where a warm backdrop is wanted, and it can also work on exterior doors or accent furniture.

Pink Ground and Setting Plaster sit nearby in tone for a layered warm scheme, while Slipper Satin, Shaded White, and Hague Blue provide useful contrast points.
