Farrow & Ball Paint - Colour by Nature

Ash Gray No. W9

A relaxed green-grey

Ash Grey has a relaxed feel that makes it suited to any space, particularly when combined with the slightly warmer Skimmed Milk White on woodwork. For a more modern look, try teaming with a lighter Snow White trim. The underlying green in this shade means that it will appear more intensely coloured in natural daylight and greyer in areas of low light.

Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Mid Tones

Complementary white: Snow White

 

Broccoli Brown No. W108

A quiet dark stone

Broccoli Brown is a quiet dark stone colour that sits effortlessly alongside natural materials such as weathered wood or flagstone floors. Its muted quality makes it ideally suited to studies, where its reserved tone serves as the ideal backdrop, especially when taken over the ceiling as well as the walls.

Crimson Red No. W93

A deep, warm pink

This deep, warm pink creates spaces that feel soft and inviting, especially when teamed with Skimmed Milk White on woodwork. Paired with dark tones, however, Crimson Red takes on a glamorous feel, with Scotch Blue in particular bringing out its rich and romantic nature.

Snow White No. W1

A fresh, delicate white

Ultra Marine Blue No. W29

A romantic mid-toned blue

A stunning blue with a slightly romantic feel, Ultra Marine Blue has been in favour since the 18th century, when it was often used to make small rooms feel bigger. For the contemporary home, it looks striking on cabinetry, especially combined with a kitchen island in dramatic Scotch Blue.

Verdigris Green No. W50

An elegant copper green

While happy and lively on first glance, Verdigris Green retains a reassuring feel and underlying elegance when used in the home.
