Farrow & Ball

Sardine

No. CB08

Sardine by Farrow & Ball is a cool, mid-tone blue-gray with soft green undertones that shift depending on the light source. Its hex value is #90A3A6, and it has an LRV of 62.4, reflecting enough light to keep a room open while still registering as a definite color on the wall. Under daylight it reads more blue; under warm artificial light it pulls toward slate.

It is a reasonable choice for bathrooms, bedrooms, and exterior woodwork. It coordinates with Farrow & Ball shades such as Light Blue, Mizzle, Pointing, Pavilion Gray, and Dimpse.
