Farrow & Ball

Blanc De Chine

No. 9814

Blanc De Chine is a light green-gray with a cool undertone and low saturation, so it can read близко к нейтралу on large walls. With an LRV of 81.3, it stays bright and can help keep rooms open in mixed lighting. It is commonly used in bedrooms, bathrooms, and living spaces where a small amount of green is needed without obvious color.

For trim and warm balance, Pointing and Wimborne White keep transitions soft. For deeper contrast, De Nimes and Inchyra Blue add darker blue weight, and Cromarty can be used for a lighter related shift.
