Farrow & Ball

Mortar Pink

No. G13

Mortar Pink is a warm-toned neutral that leans toward a muted sandy pink with noticeable yellow undertones. At an LRV of 73.1 and a hex of #D7B693, it reflects a good amount of light and reads as a soft, warm mid-tone on walls. It works well in living rooms, hallways, and bedrooms where a gentle warmth is needed without strong color.

Pairing options within Farrow & Ball include Dimity and Joa s White for tonal closeness, Cornforth White for a cooler contrast, and Hague Blue or Treron for a deeper accent.
