Farrow & Ball

Kakelugn

No. 317

Kakelugn is a pale blue with quiet gray undertones that push it toward a soft, muted register rather than a saturated one. Its LRV of 81.2 means it reflects a large amount of light, making it useful for bathrooms, bedrooms, or open living areas where a cool but not cold feeling is the goal. The gray in its base prevents it from appearing overly bright or childlike.

It works well alongside Farrow and Ball shades like Ammonite, Cornforth White, Light Blue, Hague Blue, and Skylight for layered or contrasting schemes.
