What color is Farrow and Ball Cinder Rose?
Farrow and Ball Cinder Rose 246 is a muted rose with a softened, dusty cast, shown here as a light-to-mid-depth pink with gentle grey-beige influence. Its #c7a4a6 value keeps the color restrained rather than sugary, making it well suited to bedrooms, dressing rooms, and small sitting areas. In bright daylight it can read as a faded blush, while lower or cooler light may draw out its slightly shadowed, greyed quality. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, and aged brass for a layered, lived-in look. It also makes a thoughtful choice for cabinetry or a painted alcove when a full room of pink feels too strong.

What are Farrow and Ball Cinder Rose undertones?
Cinder Rose reads as a mid-light, muted dusty pink with a soft red-rose character rather than a bright or sugary pink. In the supplied digital sample, its relative bias leans slightly warm, with a hint of yellow that keeps the pink from looking blue-based. Farrow & Ball describes it as creating a “dusky feel,” which fits its visibly softened, low-saturation pink family, though the official text does not name a specific undertone. Warm artificial light may bring out its warmer rosy side, while cool daylight can make the muted pink appear a little quieter and less warm.

LRV of Cinder Rose
Cinder Rose has an LRV of 42.78% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 42.78%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
