Farrow & Ball

Dinnerware

No. 9820

Dinnerware is a mid-tone blue with noticeable gray undertones that keep it from reading too saturated. At an LRV of 35, it sits in the medium-depth range and absorbs a fair amount of light, so it works best in rooms with adequate natural or layered artificial lighting. The cool, slightly dusty quality suits living rooms and home offices where a grounded backdrop is needed.

It pairs well with Farrow & Ball Borrowed Light or Parma Gray for tonal continuity, while Jitney or Hay offer warm contrast. For added depth, Stiffkey Blue makes a strong companion.
