Farrow & Ball

Brinjal

No. 222

Brinjal is a deep aubergine with cool undertones that lean toward red-violet rather than pure purple. With an LRV of 29, it absorbs a significant amount of light and reads darkest on walls in rooms with limited natural light. It is typically used on accent walls, in dining rooms, or in smaller spaces where a darker tone is intentional.

For contrast, Farrow & Ball's Dimity and Slipper Satin provide lighter warm neutrals at trim and ceilings. Muted mauves and dusty roses extend the tonal range, while pale grays or deep olive tones offer a more contemporary pairing.
