Farrow & Ball

Oval Room Blue

No. 85

Oval Room Blue by Farrow & Ball is a dusty, mid-tone blue with green-gray undertones that give it a slightly weathered, historic quality. Its LRV of 59.2 places it in the moderate range, reflecting enough light to remain soft on walls without washing out. The green cast becomes more apparent in natural daylight and recedes under warmer artificial light.

It is commonly used in living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways. Shaded White, Slipper Satin, Light Blue, Pigeon, and Pavilion Blue all pair well with it in coordinated schemes.
