Farrow & Ball

Vardo

No. 288

Vardo by Farrow & Ball is a teal blue with green undertones that shift depending on the available light. It has an LRV of 44.8, giving it a moderate depth that works as an accent or a full-room color without overwhelming a space. The green in its base keeps it from feeling purely cold, lending a slight warmth that prevents it from becoming stark.

It can work in kitchens, front doors, and feature walls where a noticeable but controlled color is wanted. Farrow & Ball shades like Wimborne White, Railings, Studio Green, Light Blue, and Cornforth White all coordinate well with Vardo.
