A nod to the past, while looking towards the future
Since 2016, Farrow & Ball have stayed quiet, not adding to the din and noise of the color community. This year, however, they have unveiled nine new colors. This iconic British paint company has outdone themselves with these new shades. Each new color fits seamlessly in with the 132 other shades they offer.
At quick glance, the colors have a mixed theme. Shadow White, Drop Cloth, and Worsted are soft, refined, and give an air of old fashioned elegance. These colors are classic.
While there is always a place for neutral colors, Farrow & Ball has given us the option of incorporating soft pastels such as Cromarty, and Peignor. Cromarty is the perfect shade. Not too blue, and not too grey. Watch its colors shift and flow, depending on the light in the room.
Go bold with your interior paint palette
These colors, along with Inchyra Blue and Salon Drab, give a nod to the past. A nod to a bygone era, filled with calm sophistication and effortless elegance. However, no color palette would be complete without a few bold accents.
Yearbridge Green is that perfect shade of green. This green gives nod to the rising trend of botanical colors. Uplift any room with this calm, bright green. To complement the vivacity of Yearbridge Green, Vardo offers us a hue of life. This versatile color is vibrant, and complements crisp whites and dark tones.
Each of these nine colors have been designed with a purposeful nod to the past. However, as you look through, you will find that all of the colors will allow each room in your house to pass as effortlessly modern.
As the weather cools down, and you start focusing on interior painting upgrades that need to be done, don’t forget to consider the importance of choosing the right color. Both Farrow & Ball, and Benjamin Moore are well respected paint companies. They have taken the time to design colors that will keep your home feeling modern, while also capturing that ever-elusive feeling of homeyness.
