Farrow & Ball

Blue Ground

No. 210

Blue Ground is a light blue-green with a cool undertone and low-to-moderate saturation, so it reads clean rather than яркий. With an LRV of 74.3, it reflects a lot of light and can keep smaller rooms from feeling closed in. It is commonly used in bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchens where a cooler wall tone is needed.

For trim, Wimborne White and All White keep edges crisp. For depth, Hague Blue and Stiffkey Blue provide darker blue contrast, and Card Room Green can add a muted green companion.

Blue Ground in Different Light
