Farrow & Ball

Harissa

No. 9916

Harissa is a warm, mid-depth red with brown and orange undertones that keep it from reading too bright or too cool. Its hex code is #AE5042 and its LRV of 38.8 means it absorbs more light than it reflects, lending weight and presence to a room. It is well suited to dining rooms, hallways, or as an accent on a single wall or built-in shelving.

Among Farrow & Ball colors, it coordinates naturally with School House White, Shaded White, Hague Blue, Jitney, and Red Earth, which can be used to soften or contrast its warmth.
