Farrow & Ball

Picture Gallery Red

No. 42

Picture Gallery Red by Farrow & Ball is a warm, deep red with earthy undertones that give it a slightly muted quality compared to brighter reds. Its LRV of 40.1 places it in the mid-to-low range, so it absorbs a fair amount of light and reads as a rich, solid color on walls. It is commonly used in dining rooms, libraries, and feature walls.

It works well alongside Farrow & Ball shades such as Joa s White and Dimity for warmth, Cornforth White for a neutral backdrop, and Hague Blue or Calke Green for stronger contrast.
