What color is Farrow and Ball Menagerie?

Farrow and Ball Menagerie 63 is a warm, muted clay-pink with soft terracotta and peach undertones. Its mid-depth color feels earthy rather than sugary, making it a grounded option for living rooms, dining areas, or a bedroom with natural textures. In bright daylight, Menagerie can show more of its sun-baked peach character, while lower light brings out its dustier rose-brown side. Pair it with chalky off-whites, warm taupes, aged brass, oak, linen, and terracotta tile for a layered, natural-looking scheme. It has enough presence for full walls but would also make distinctive cabinetry or a painted alcove.

What are Farrow and Ball Menagerie undertones?

Menagerie is a mid-light, softly muted terracotta with a clear orange-based character and enough color to read as warm rather than neutral. In the supplied digital sample, it shows a slight red and yellow bias within that orange family, which can make it look like a dusty clay or peachy earth tone rather than a brown. Farrow & Ball describes it as a “mid-tone terracotta,” which aligns with its visibly warm orange-red main family. Warm artificial light may bring forward its red-orange warmth, while cool daylight can make its softer, slightly muted quality more noticeable.
