The difference

Read from the numbers

Both read cool. Both belong to the blue family.

How they read

In their own words

Borrowed Light No. 235 is, in Farrow & Ball's words, a wonderfully pale blue evoking the colour of summer skies, named after the delicate light that cascades through small windows and fanlights.

Despite the name, Catalina Blue lives in the soft territory where blue meets green. It is a muted, sea-glass color — grey enough to stay calm, green enough to feel coastal — that shifts between blue and sage depending on the light it's given.
