Pink Ground
Farrow & Ball
No. 202
Pink Ground is a pale, warm pink whose name comes from the ground colors traditionally used as wallpaper backgrounds. It functions almost as a neutral, a whisper of warmth that flatters light the way a white never quite can. Designers use it in bedrooms, hallways, and living rooms as a soft alternative to cream, often with crisp whites or deep greens for contrast.

Is Pink Ground warm or cool?
Pink Ground is warm, a soft pink with a yellow base that keeps it serene rather than candy-like. Its LRV is approximately 69, so it is highly livable and light-reflective, behaving more like a tinted white than a statement pink. In warm afternoon light the pink blooms noticeably; in cool light it retreats to a gentle blush-neutral. It makes north-facing rooms feel warmer without obvious color.
Why does Pink Ground look different on screen than on the wall?
Screens emit light while paint reflects it, so a hex code cannot capture how lighting, sheen, and surrounding colors shift paint in a real room. Treat #EAD4C6 as accurate for digital design work, and use physical samples for final approval. Farrow & Ball does not publish official hex codes, so this value is a close third-party approximation.
What LRV does Pink Ground have?
Pink Ground has a Light Reflectance Value of approximately 69, meaning it reflects about 69% of visible light. That places it among lighter colors that keep rooms feeling open and bright.
