Farrow & Ball

Titmouse Blue

No. W24

Titmouse Blue is a dark, cool-toned color from Farrow & Ball that reads as a deep navy with a noticeable purple undertone visible in its hex value (#3F3E4C). At an LRV of 24.8, it absorbs most ambient light and will darken a room noticeably, so it is best used where that effect is intentional -- accent walls, cabinetry, or smaller rooms like powder rooms and studies. It needs bright companions to balance it: All White and Cornforth White both work on trim and ceilings, Parma Gray offers a lighter tonal step, and Skylight or Railings can extend a coordinated darker scheme.
