Farrow & Ball

Blazer

No. 212

Blazer is a strong red with warm undertones and a mid-depth value that reads насыщенно on large surfaces. With an LRV of 39.2, it will look darker in low light and more saturated in sunlit rooms. It is typically used as a feature wall, in dining areas, or on cabinetry where a warmer red is needed.

For softening contrast, Cornforth White and Skimming Stone work well as adjacent neutrals. For darker accents, Off-Black and Hague Blue provide defined edges, and Green Smoke can add a muted green counterpoint.
