Sulking Room Pink
Farrow & Ball
No. 295
Sulking Room Pink is a muted, powdery rose named for the boudoir, from the French bouder, to sulk. The name signals the mood: this is a moody, brown-based pink intended for atmospheric bedrooms, snugs, and dining rooms rather than anything saccharine. It is striking with dark woods, burgundy, and blackened greens, and it flatters skin tones in candlelight.

Is Sulking Room Pink warm or cool?
Sulking Room Pink is warm, a rose softened with enough brown and gray to read almost as a pink-toned neutral. Its LRV is approximately 29, darker than most people expect from a pink, so it creates intimacy rather than airiness. In low evening light it turns rich and shadowy, which is the intended effect. Bright daylight lifts it toward a dusty antique rose.
Why does Sulking Room Pink 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 #AA8D87 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 Sulking Room Pink have?
Sulking Room Pink has a Light Reflectance Value of approximately 29, meaning it reflects about 29% of visible light. That mid-range depth reads as a true color on the wall without going dark.
