Farrow & Ball

Pavilion Blue

No. 252

Pavilion Blue by Farrow & Ball is a very pale blue-green with noticeable green undertones that soften its coolness. At an LRV of 89.4 it is close to white in terms of light reflectance, so it reads as barely tinted in most lighting conditions. This makes it a practical option for ceilings, trim, or full-wall applications in rooms where a near-white with a hint of colour is wanted.

It pairs naturally with Farrow & Ball shades like Pointing, Slipper Satin, Vert de Terre, Dimpse, and Teresas Green.
