Farrow & Ball

Bay Area Blue

No. 9815

Bay Area Blue is a mid-tone blue with a gray undertone that keeps it muted rather than чистый sky blue. With an LRV of 63.7, it reflects a moderate amount of light and usually stays readable in both daylight and artificial lighting. It is commonly used in bedrooms, living rooms, and bathrooms where cooler colors help reduce visual warmth.

For related blues, Parma Gray and Skylight keep the palette in the same cool range. For contrast, Hague Blue and Railings provide deeper blue-black accents, and Wimborne White can be used for trim.
