Farrow & Ball

Sugared Almond

No. 9913

Sugared Almond is a light mauve with balanced red and blue undertones that give it a dusty, slightly cool character on the wall. Its LRV of 76.7 means it reflects a good deal of light, so it can function as a near-neutral in well-lit rooms such as bedrooms, hallways, or bathrooms. The color is quiet enough for full-room use without pulling strongly pink or purple under most lighting conditions.

Pale Powder and Pointing keep adjacent woodwork and ceilings clean, Wimborne White works for a crisper trim line, and Pelt or Hague Blue can be used where a deeper accent is required.
