Farrow & Ball

Hague Blue

No. 30

Hague Blue is a deep, saturated blue with noticeable green undertones that shift depending on the light. At #3F4D57 with an LRV of 29.3, it falls on the darker end of the spectrum and reflects relatively little light, making it a strong option for feature walls, front doors, or kitchen islands where a grounding effect is wanted. It works well in rooms with good natural light or when paired with lighter tones.

Farrow & Ball colors such as Ammonite, Skimming Stone, Oval Room Blue, Wimborne White, and De Nimes all complement it without competing for attention.
