Wall paint - Cola No. 9918

Cola No. 9918 – Colour Description

Cola’s distinct red undertone sets it apart from cooler, darker browns like Mahogany and Tanner's Brown. Its warmth can lend a sense of intimacy to even the smallest room.

A Farrow & Ball Archive Colour

Cola is one of our archive colours: no longer in our current palette, but still available to order in our signature quality. Each tin is mixed to order. Due to its high pigmentation, the tone shifts with the daylight—softer in the morning, deeper in the evening.

Combine Like a Pro

The official complementary white for Cola is Joa's White—ideal for ceilings, mouldings, and adjacent areas. Farrow & Ball recommended colour schemes: Elephant's Breath & Sulking Room Pink · Rangwali & Vardo · Potted Shrimp & Cooking Apple Green · Jitney & Green Smoke.
