Farrow & Ball

Lake Red

No. W92

Lake Red is a saturated, cool-leaning red with a pink undertone that distinguishes it from warmer brick or tomato reds. Its LRV of 39.9 puts it in the lower-mid range for light reflectance, so it will darken a room noticeably and is best used on accent walls, in dining rooms, or on front doors rather than as an all-over color. The cool base helps it sit comfortably with neutral surrounds.

Farrow and Ball colors such as Cornforth White, Ammonite, Railings, Sulking Room Pink, and Pink Ground all coordinate well with it.
