Wow! We’re absolutely thrilled to share Farrow & Ball’s® official announcement of nine new colors yesterday. For the last few weeks since they’d announced there would be new colors coming, we’ve been on our toes with anticipation. What kind of neutrals would there be? What about fun, on-trend colors? Now the wait is over, behold the new nine with a little bit about their inspiration:

Bancha No.298

This mid-century modern green is a darker version of the much loved archive color Olive. Named after Japanese tea leaves, it provides a feeling of security.

De Nimes No.299

An elegant blue that is wonderfully down to earth, it is inspired by the cloth of everyday workwear originally made in the French city of the same name.

Jitney No.293

This relaxed and sandy neutral takes its name from the bus that whisks New Yorkers out of the hot city to the beaches of the Hamptons.

Paean Black No.294

This Georgian inspired red based black is a nod to the colour of old leather hymnals which so often included a song of praise or paean.

Preference Red No.297

Our deepest richest red, this Baroque colour is named in honour of our original trade name. The preferred red of modern homes.

Rangwali No.296

A pink inspired by the powder which is used so enthusiastically at the Holi festival of colours in India.

School House White No.291

The lightest in the group including Shadow White, Shaded White and Drop Cloth, this soft white is reminiscent of the colour used in school houses.

Sulking Room Pink No.295

This muted rose is evocative of the colours used in boudoirs, a room originally named after the French ‘bouder’ - to sulk.

Treron No.292

A grey green version of Farrow & Ball classic Pigeon, it takes its name from a green variety of the species. The perfect accent for our Traditional Neutrals.

There you have it! We officially have new color cards plus sample pots in all of the new colors in-stock at the Shop & Studio. We have sample boards as well— come for a visit to see the new nine!
