Every room, each color

The difference

Read from the numbers

Both read cool. Both belong to the blue family.

How they read

In their own words

Coat of Arms is a deep, gray-tempered teal — blue enough to anchor a room the way a navy would, green enough to feel alive against wood, brass and raffia. At LRV 14.7 it is a genuinely dark color, and that darkness is where its elegance lives: it recedes, it flatters everything placed against it, and it never looks like a color that is trying.

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.
