How they read
In their own wordsPale 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.
Little Falls is a mid-tone, grey-softened blue with the ease of well-worn denim. At LRV 41 it holds its color in daylight without ever becoming bright, and its grey base keeps it from reading as nursery blue. It is calm without being cold.
