Farrow & Ball

Pink Cup

No. 9801

Pink Cup is a soft warm pink with a noticeable red undertone that reads close to a muted peach on walls. At an LRV of 77.8 it reflects a good amount of light, making it functional in bedrooms and living rooms where brightness matters. The warmth is moderate enough that it does not push strongly toward coral or salmon.

It sits well next to Farrow & Ball colors like Wimborne White and Pointing for a quiet, tonal scheme, while Jitney and Dimity extend the warm range without clashing. Hague Blue provides a strong contrast option for trim or accent details.

Pink Cup in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
