What color is Farrow and Ball Deep Reddish Brown?

Farrow and Ball Deep Reddish Brown W101 is a dark, muted brown with a clear red cast that keeps it from reading flat or blackened. Its #6a453f value suggests a medium-deep shade, with earthy warmth and restrained saturation rather than a bright brick-red effect. On walls, it can give dining rooms, studies, or small entryways a grounded, enveloping look, especially when paired with warm white trim. Deep Reddish Brown also suits painted cabinetry, interior doors, and built-in shelving where its red undertone can stand out against pale plaster, natural oak, or aged brass. In brighter light, the reddish element is likely to be more noticeable, while lower light will emphasize its deeper brown base.

What are Farrow and Ball Deep Reddish Brown undertones?

Deep Reddish Brown is a deep, muted red-brown with moderate saturation rather than a bright or vivid finish. In the supplied digital sample, the main color direction reads as red with a slight warm, yellow-leaning bias, which gives the brown base a warmer cast. Because no official manufacturer description is available here, there is no stated Farrow & Ball undertone to attribute. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its red-brown warmth, while cool daylight can make it appear a little more restrained and less red.
