Farrow & Ball

Berrington Blue

No. 14

Berrington Blue is a medium blue-green with a gray undertone that reduces saturation and helps it read more architectural. With an LRV of 55.6, it remains mid-light and generally holds color through the day without turning too bright. It is commonly used in bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchens where a cooler mid-tone is needed.

For lighter blues, Borrowed Light and Skylight keep the palette cool and tonal. For deeper contrast, Hague Blue works as a darker anchor, and Cornforth White can be used to keep trim and ceilings neutral.
