Farrow & Ball Oval Room Blue
No. 85 / LRV: 32
Farrow & Ball Oval Room Blue is a rich deep blue paint color with a touch of green undertones. It’s a very unique color because the specific undertones can become more apparent in different lighting conditions, adding to the complexity of the color. It is named after the typically oval shaped rooms from 18th century homes. Farrow and Ball say this is their most blackened of blues which gives it an aged feel.
Is Oval Room Blue, green, blue or teal?
Oval Room Blue is a deep, inky blue with hints of green and gray and it has the uncanny ability to shift and change depending on the light. In a sunny room, it can appear almost teal, while in a shady corner, it takes on a more somber, almost black cast. The uniqueness of this color is part of what makes it so popular with designers and homeowners alike.
Is Oval Room Blue a warm or cool color?
In my opinion, Oval Room Blue is a cool paint color. Cool colors tend to have undertones of blue, green, or purple. With it’s deep blue and subtle green undertones, I believe it’s more of a cool color. Keep in mind that the perception of warmth or coolness can also be influenced by lighting conditions which is why it’s a good idea to test the color in different lighting conditions to get a true sense of the color.
