Farrow & Ball began its journey in paint in 1946 overseas in Dorset, England. Farrow & Ball is dedicated to creating richly pigmented paint and handcrafted wallpaper using only the finest quality ingredients.

How Light Affects Colour

Farrow & Ball paint has an extraordinary response to light and will change as exposure meets the paint. By paying attention to the direction the room faces — north, south, east, or west — you can determine which colors and tones best complement your décor.

Northern light brings out a color's cool tones. As such, it is important to avoid anything with a green or grey base. Warmer, yellow-based colors will encourage light to bounce around the room. Another option is embracing the cooler light that northern exposure brings to create a cozy, comforting space with darker hues, such as Down Pipe or Railings.

Spaces with southern exposure have the potential to be light-filled all day, which makes it easier to choose wallpaper or Farrow & Ball paint colors. Soft, pale tones maximize the feeling of light; a bright white on the trim will bring forth a crisp, fresh look.
For a sense of calm, blues such as Pavilion Blue and Borrowed Light both work exceedingly well. For a warmer feel, red-based neutrals such as Joa’s White and Dimity are excellent choices.

When decorating a west- or east-facing room, it’s useful to consider when you use it the most often. Light in west-facing spaces is cooler in the morning but brighter in the afternoon.
The opposite is true for east-facing rooms, where light blues and greens can have a beautifully soft and calming effect. You may also want to consider Farrow & Ball paints like Pale Powder or Teresa’s Green, both of which retain some warmth when transitioning into the evening.
In west-facing rooms, the warm tones of Middleton Pink or Smoked Trout paints are excellent options for making the most of strong, late afternoon light.
