Farrow and Ball's Cola is an incredible color. As the name suggests, it's a deep brown, but with red pigments to it that adds warmth and vitality. I've used it to great effect in my den, covering the walls and doors in this rich, comforting brown, creating a space that is perfect for movie nights, for hunkering down in.
Using browns in this way is a big color trend, with earthy tones cropping up in designer schemes, running the gamut from soft beige to dark wood tones. 'I am always finding myself harking back to the colors we see in nature,' says the interior designer Tom Morris, who uses brown in almost all of his projects. 'I do like a lot of brown. It can be very rich, very inviting.'
