Farrow & Ball

Pink Ground

No. 202

Pink Ground is a light warm pink with peach undertones that sits close to neutral on the wall. With an LRV of 84.6 it reflects a high amount of light, so it functions well in rooms where brightness is a priority, including north-facing spaces that benefit from added warmth. The pink is subtle enough that it reads more as a tinted white than a true pastel across large surfaces.

Farrow & Ball colors like Slipper Satin and Joa's White work alongside it for a cohesive warm-neutral scheme, while Dead Salmon and London Clay offer deeper tonal contrast without shifting the overall warmth.

Pink Ground 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.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
