Farrow & Ball

Graupel

No. G10

Graupel is a light, muted blue with a cool lavender-leaning undertone that keeps it soft rather than saturated. At an LRV of 80.4, it reflects a high amount of light and can make rooms feel noticeably brighter, which is useful in bedrooms, bathrooms, and north-facing spaces. The color stays relatively neutral across lighting conditions, though it may pick up a faint violet cast under warm bulbs.

Borrowed Light and Skylight work as tonal neighbors for a layered cool palette, Dimity and Jitney provide warm contrast, and Stiffkey Blue can anchor it in rooms that need a darker companion.
