Farrow & Ball

Marmelo

No. 316

Marmelo by Farrow & Ball is a warm mid-tone sitting between burnt orange and terracotta, with clear red-brown undertones. Its LRV of 46.6 places it in the medium range, absorbing enough light to feel grounded without darkening a room significantly. It works well on feature walls in dining rooms or studies where a warm focal point is useful.

Marmelo coordinates naturally with Oxford Stone and Joas White to ease its intensity, while Setting Plaster can bridge it into softer surroundings. For contrast, Hague Blue or Card Room Green provide a deliberate counterpoint.
