What color is Farrow and Ball Incarnadine?
Farrow and Ball Incarnadine 248 is a deep, muted red with a clear earthy cast, sitting closer to weathered brick than a bright scarlet. Its #a04344 value gives it substantial color presence without appearing overly glossy or sugary. In daylight, Incarnadine reads as a grounded red, while lower or warmer light can bring out its brown-red depth. It makes a strong choice for a dining room, library, front door, or painted cabinetry where a darker accent is welcome. Pair it with chalky off-whites, aged brass, natural oak, blackened metal, or warm stone to emphasize its restrained, mineral quality.

What are Farrow and Ball Incarnadine undertones?
Incarnadine is a midtone, strongly saturated red with a clear crimson character. In the supplied digital sample, it leans slightly warm, with a subtle yellow-red bias that keeps it from reading as a blue-based or wine-like red. Farrow & Ball describes it as its “richest crimson,” which aligns with the color’s visibly full, deep red main family rather than suggesting a separate undertone. Warm artificial light may bring out its warmer red qualities, while cool daylight can make its crimson side appear a little cleaner or less warm.

LRV of Incarnadine
Incarnadine has an LRV of 11.59% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 11.59%, 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.
