Farrow & Ball

Inchyra Blue

No. 289

Inchyra Blue is a muted blue-gray with noticeable green undertones that shift depending on light conditions, leaning more teal in daylight and more slate under artificial light. With an LRV of 39.5, it falls in the mid-to-low reflectance range and will read darker in north-facing rooms. It works well on cabinetry, exterior woodwork, or accent walls where a subdued but distinct color is needed.

Drop Cloth and School House White provide warm, lighter counterpoints for trim and ceilings. For a deeper tonal scheme, Studio Green and Hague Blue sit comfortably alongside it without competing.

Inchyra Blue in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
