Farrow & Ball

De Nimes

No. 299

De Nimes is a muted blue-grey from Farrow & Ball with an LRV of 49.9, placing it at a mid-range depth. It has a cool undertone that reads bluer under daylight and slightly greyer under warm lamps, which keeps it from feeling flat across changing conditions. It works well as a main wall colour in living rooms or bedrooms where a restrained cool tone is needed.

School House White or Shadow White provide clean contrast at trim and ceilings, while soft sage tones build a layered cool palette. A warm ochre accent draws out its blue side.
