Farrow & Ball to Introduce 12 New Colours

On February 27th, British paint and wallpaper maker Farrow & Ball is adding 12 new colours to its signature palette: nine brand-new creations and, for the first time, three previously archived shades. All handcrafted in Dorset, the new paint colours have been carefully curated with the extraordinary ordinary in mind.
​​
​The new colours range from a deep terracotta to a crisp blue, an earthy green to a delicate pink, with inspiration including a dependable garden tool, folkloric fireplaces and even the humble duster. This grounded palette celebrates, illuminates and indulges in the everyday. The hidden heroes of our fondest memories and the special touches that make a moment an occasion.

Joa Studholme, Farrow & Ball Colour Curator, comments:

"Over the last few years, we’ve relished living with colour. It’s opened our eyes to all the shades surrounding us, which we often don’t think about. The treasures right under our noses. Now, we’re ready to embrace more colour and celebrate these unsung heroes in our homes. ​
​​
​Marmelo, named after the quince that inspired marmalade, is one of my favourite new colours. Who could fail to be comforted by that familiar orange reminiscent of warm, buttered toast and conversations around the breakfast table? I also have a real soft spot for Douter. It sits somewhere between Inchyra Blue and Green Smoke, but it was really inspired by traditional brass candle snuffers and I always think candlelight brings a magical quality, whether it’s a dinner party or just a cosy evening in."

For the first time, Farrow & Ball is reintroducing shades from its well-established Archive, which includes every paint colour the heritage brand has made over its 78 years. The three returning shades are: Sap Green, Broccoli Brown and Etruscan Red.
