Every room, each color

The difference

Read from the numbers

Both read cool. Pale Powder is a blue, Cedar Grove a green.

How they read

In their own words

Pale Powder No. 204 is Farrow & Ball's most popular shade of aqua, a lighter version of the archived Powder Blue. The brand says it has an unparalleled softness.

Cedar Grove is a mid-light sage — green enough to be clearly a color from across the room, grey enough never to look minty. At LRV 46 it sits in the sweet spot for a full-room green: it holds its tone in daylight and softens rather than muddies as the light fades.
