Farrow & Ball

Dimpse

No. 277

Dimpse is a cool, light grey with neutral undertones that keep it from leaning noticeably blue or green. With an LRV of 83.1, it reflects a significant amount of light, reading almost as a tinted white in bright conditions while showing more definite grey character in lower light. It works well across large surfaces in bedrooms, living rooms, and kitchens where a clean but not stark backdrop is needed.

Ammonite or Blackened pair closely for a tonal grey scheme, and Pale Powder adds a subtle cool shift. For stronger definition, Railings or Down Pipe on trim or joinery provide clear contrast.
