Wall Paint - Rangwali No. 296

About Rangwali No. 296

Rangwali is one of the most adventurous shades in the Farrow & Ball palette: a bright, exotic pink that takes its name from the powder thrown during the Holi festival of colours in India. Despite its intensity, it contains a small amount of black pigment which gives it a more sophisticated, grounded feel than many other pinks.

Colour Effect & Light

Inspired by the Indian Holi festival, Rangwali is a joyous pink that feels surprisingly warm in the evening. Thanks to its rich pigmentation, the tone shifts with the daylight: appearing softer in the morning and deeper as the evening progresses.
