Farrow and Ball Drawing Room Blue

Farrow and Ball Drawing Room Blue

This is strong.  It seems a very dramatic, and possibly daunting color to paint a room.  If you ever get to Chicago, please go to RL Cafe, and see for yourself how well this color works.  It’s a classic and believe us, works perfectly as a backdrop for artwork, bookshelves, white trim.  It’s a keeper… Read more »

Farrow and Ball Parma Gray

This color reminds of the beautiful blue gray silk Christian Dior used on many of his ball gowns.  Named after the interior designer emeritus, John Fowler, we think this cool tone is pretty spot on for your portfolio.  Obviously, sun exposure, window placement, wood work, has a huge effect on your color palette.  If you… Read more »

Farrow and Ball Vert de Terre

Green is our head color expert’s favorite color.  And even she admits it can be a little tricky.  Avoid using this color in a bathroom or where women will be checking themselves out and applying make-up.  They could look washed-out and over do it.  This lovely, Vert de Terre color from Farrow and Ball is… Read more »

Farrow and Ball Pointing

Beautiful Red

The eye is always drawn to red.  It evokes power, strength and confidence.  In Russia, Red Square was not named for communism, but because in the Russian language, the word for red also means “beautiful.”  We agree, especially with this beautiful shade by Pratt and Lambert. This color looks beautiful in a Dining Room ,… Read more »

Turning Oakleaf Yellow

A little yellow goes a long way, but we love it. Pittsburgh Paint created this lovely pale yellow that works wonderfully as a soft, neutral color for any room.  Designer, Dee Schlotter, describes it as “soft with a real presence and an optimistic, enlightened vibe.” We agree completely.

Stiffkey Blue

Farrow and Ball developed this color after visiting the beaches in Norfolk in England.  Captured by rich blues from the cockles, mussels and mud, yes, mud can be beautiful, as shown in this color.  It looks amazing against dark woods, black accents and silvery details.

James White

White is not just white.  There are many, many shades of it, and anyone who has stood at the paint chip kiosk knows this can be daunting.  That’s why we’re here!  We’ve tested them.  Our love and fascination for interior paint, some might call a cry for help. One of our designers even collects old… Read more »

Book Room Red

We love the impact of this rich red, without being too much drama.  The perfect statement for smaller rooms.

Charleston Gray

The Bloomsbury group of artists, after whom your collection is named, favored this rich, warm gray in both their unforgettable interiors and groundbreaking canvases.  We like it best painted in a bedroom with an eggshell finish. Dark tones undercoat.

Bloomsbury Group Gray

We’ve seen this colour and it has become a minor obsession.  Yes, there are some brooding dark tones to this dramatic shade, but we think you can handle it.  The Bloomsbury group used a similar shade at their artists’ colony, Charleston in East Sussex, England.
