Wall paint - Harissa No. 9916

Harissa No. 9916 – Colour Description

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

A Tone from the Farrow & Ball Archive

Harissa is one of Farrow & Ball’s archive colours: no longer in the current colour card, but still available in original quality. Each tin is mixed to order. Due to the high pigmentation, the tone changes with the daylight – softer in the morning, deeper in the evening.

Combine Like the Pros

The official complementary white for Harissa is Skimming Stone – ideal for ceilings, mouldings and adjacent surfaces. Colour schemes recommended by Farrow & Ball: Tanner's Brown & Archive.
