# Farrow and Ball Marmelo

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/marmelo-316](https://plan-home.com/color/marmelo-316)

Farrow and Ball Marmelo 316 is a muted, earthy orange-brown with clear terracotta character and a softly browned base. Its mid-depth value gives it enough presence for full walls, while its restrained saturation keeps it from reading overly bright. In daylight, Marmelo can show more of its sun-baked clay warmth; under evening lamps, it settles into a deeper cinnamon-brown. It suits dining rooms, kitchens, and hallways, particularly on cabinetry or a single architectural feature such as a fireplace surround. Pair it with warm off-whites, natural oak, aged brass, woven linen, and darker brown accents for a grounded, material-led scheme.
