Farrow & Ball

Bothy Blue

No. G11

Bothy Blue is a mid-toned cool blue with subtle gray undertones that soften its intensity on large surfaces. With an LRV of 59.4, it sits in the moderate range and holds a clear blue presence without feeling heavy. It works in bedrooms, living rooms, and open-plan spaces where a quieter blue is needed.

For a clean backdrop, Farrow & Ball's All White or Wimborne White can be used on trim and ceilings. Skylight and Pavilion Gray provide tonal neighbors, while Hague Blue offers a darker blue step for doors or built-ins.
