Farrow & Ball - Colour Key Trend 2015

My favourite Farrow & Ball colour key trend 2015

Farrow & Ball Light Blue No. 22, has to be my favourite key trend for 2015.

It's such a calming palette best described by FB as a way of introducing the softer side of life by escaping the brashness of modern day. It's a way of creating an interior where colours shift and change like our landscape.

Light Blue is perhaps a more greeny/grey light blue which is heavily influenced by natural light. It's a really easy colour to work with. Undertones of grey can be lifted through this colour as there is so much depth but it's a colour with contradiction... Light Blue No.22 is a 'warm' light blue/grey/green as opposed to the coldness of an average blue palette.

Simply add a drop of warm white/grey such as Dimpse No. 277 to Light Blue No.22 to make your room colour sing.

Farrow & Ball Paint



I love the palette and quality of Farrow & Ball paint and I've been considering the exterior paint for my vintage caravan project.


Farrow & Ball's 'Old White' is an old favourite of mine. I have a large bookcase painted in the aged grey/green white and it looks lovely.

Choosing exterior paint can be tricky. I've purchased quite a few sample pots and at £3.99 a pot it can end up being quite costly.

My favourite Farrow & Ball exterior paint that I have used to date is Lichen - it's a very soft green with a grey tone and perhaps a popular colour amongst the traditional Cotswold Stone houses.


The vintage caravan was originally painted in two colours - Beige top and bottom and a green stripe running through the centre. Although I like to be sympathetic to the age and character of the caravan I  don't necessarily want to paint it in this way and I'm hoping a block of colour will work.

Farrow & Ball's Blue Gray is a favourite as is Light Blue. French Gray and Mizzle have caught my eye. Pigeon looks fantastic.

What colour does a girl choose? Damn you Farrow & Ball - I want them all!
