How they read
In their own wordsLamp Room Gray is what Farrow & Ball calls its 'most traditional blue grey' — a mid-light grey with a soft blue cast that feels older and more settled than a modern cool grey. It takes its name from the rooms where oil lamps were once trimmed and stored.
Wabi is a Color Atelier lime paint — a soft off-white with a tiny addition of umber and black that pulls it toward pale taupe. Because it is a limewash, the colour is mottled and cloudy, moving between chalk white and warm stone across the wall.
