Farrow and Ball's New Colors

Wevet

 Ammonite

 

 Purbeck Stone

Dimpse

Moles Breath

Stiffkey Blue

This new selection of colors from Farrow and Ball are inspired by the environment of Dorset. The color of the earth, water, sky, the fossils and shells of the seaside. Words are used to describe these colors are local terms, color of twilight, Dimpse or Wevet, spider's web.

These brighter colors Yellowcake, St Giles Blue and Nancy's Blushes although have inspiration in nostalgia, they are fresher and would look great in modern settings.

This color has caught my attention several times this past week. I was looking at colors to work with a deeper blue, more toward red. But this aqua kept catching my eye.  I saw it in fabrics and shimmering in wallpapers and looked at Josef Albers layers of colors. It was used much in the 60's and today a whole range of surfaces are using the mix of blue and green. It is cool, definitely, but how elegant.
