Farrow & Ball

Hazy

No. CC6

Hazy by Farrow & Ball is a soft cool blue with clear gray undertones, giving it a muted and slightly dusty appearance at #AFC2C9. With an LRV of 74.7 it reflects a fair amount of light, though it still registers distinctly as a color on walls rather than fading into a neutral. It is well suited to bedrooms, bathrooms, and hallways where a calm blue-gray is wanted without the room feeling cold.

It works well with Ammonite, All White, Pale Powder, Borrowed Light, and Railings across a range of schemes.
