Farrow & Ball

Barrow Blue

No. G8

Barrow Blue is a mid-tone blue-gray with cool undertones and a slightly green-gray bias in some lighting. With an LRV of 47.4, it sits near mid-depth and will read darker on large areas than it does on a chip. It works in studies, bedrooms, and living rooms where a cooler wall color is needed without going navy.

For lighter support colors, Borrowed Light and Ammonite keep the scheme cool and controlled. For stronger definition, Railings and Pelt provide darker accents with more weight.
