Farrow & Ball

St Giles Blue

No. 280

St Giles Blue by Farrow & Ball is a medium-toned blue with a gray undertone, coming in at an LRV of 56.8. That reflectance level puts it in comfortable mid-range territory -- bright enough to use on all four walls without darkening a room, but saturated enough to read clearly as blue. The gray cast tempers what might otherwise be a strong primary tone, giving it a more neutral lean.

It suits kitchens, bathrooms, and living spaces with moderate to good light. It works alongside Pavilion Gray, Blackened, Pointing, White Tie, and Hague Blue.
