About Rangwali
Rangwali (No.296) is a deep, medium-strength pink from Farrow & Ball. With an LRV of 25, Rangwali absorbs more light than it reflects, so it works best in rooms with good natural light or where you want a cozier feel.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Rangwali's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for bedrooms, nurseries, powder rooms and accent walls. Next to Lake Red (No.W92), it's lighter and cooler.
