Wall paint - Bisque No. 9811

Bisque No. 9811 – Colour Description

As warming as the classic French soup from which it takes its name, Bisque is a softer interpretation of Charlotte's Locks – and a cozy colorful addition to any room.

A shade from the Farrow & Ball Archive

Bisque is one of the Farrow & Ball archive colors: no longer in the current color card, but still available in original quality. Every tin is mixed to order. Due to the high pigmentation, the shade changes with the daylight – softer in the morning, deeper in the evening.

Combine like the pros
