Farrow & Ball

Ultra Marine Blue

No. W29

Ultra Marine Blue by Farrow & Ball is a medium-toned blue with a subtle gray undertone that softens it and prevents it from reading too saturated. It has an LRV of 45, which places it at a moderate brightness level, absorbing enough light to feel substantial on a wall without darkening a room significantly. Its cool temperature makes it a reasonable option for studies, bedrooms, and bathrooms.

It sits well against crisp whites and warm neutrals alike. Compatible Farrow & Ball shades include All White, Strong White, Skylight, Cornforth White, and Light Blue.
