Farrow & Ball

Romesco

No. CB4

Romesco is a strong, warm red with noticeable brown undertones that pull it toward brick and clay rather than pure crimson. At hex #BA4845 and an LRV of 37.7, it absorbs more light than it reflects and will read as a saturated, assertive color on walls. It is most commonly used in dining rooms, feature walls, and smaller rooms where a strong color statement is appropriate.

Farrow & Ball shades like Hague Blue and Inchyra Blue provide cool contrast, while Shaded White and Slipper Satin lighten the overall scheme without clashing.
