Wall paint - Harissa No. 9916

About Harissa No. 9916

Much like the warming spice blend of the same name, our Harissa paint brings warmth into the home. It imparts a special energy to small rooms, especially when combined with a darker color like Tanner's Brown on wooden elements.

A shade from the Farrow & Ball Archive

Harissa is part of the Farrow & Ball Archive collection: no longer in the current color card, but still available in its original quality. Each tin is mixed to order. Due to the high pigmentation, the shade changes with the daylight: softer in the morning, deeper in the evening.
