Every room, each color

The difference

Read from the numbers

Templeton Pink is the lighter of the two at LRV 47.44, 37.4 points above Cherry Cola at LRV 10. Both read warm. Templeton Pink is a pink, Cherry Cola a red. For a whole room, Templeton Pink is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Cherry Cola is the bolder pick.

How they read

In their own words

Templeton Pink No. 303 is a Farrow & Ball colour the brand describes as a historic-feeling pink, developed for the dining room at Templeton House to offset its Wedgwood plaques.

Cherry Cola is a deep reddish brown from Dunn-Edwards' Perfect Palette accents — the color of the drink held up to the light, with burnt sienna underneath. At LRV 10 it is dark, saturated and enormously flattering to books, brass and patterned fabric.
