Wall Paint - Skylight No. 205

About Skylight No. 205

Skylight is a bright and delicate shade that shifts between grey and blue depending on the light. In smaller rooms, it appears cooler and more distinctly blue, while in larger rooms, it looks paler and slightly greyer.

Color impact & light

Skylight brings calm and spaciousness to any room and forms the perfect base for changing decor. Due to its high pigmentation, the tone changes with the daylight: softer in the morning, deeper in the evening.

Combining like the pros

The official complementary white for Skylight is Wevet, ideal for ceilings, skirting boards, and adjacent surfaces. Color schemes recommended by Farrow & Ball: Stiffkey Blue & Rectory Red · Wimborne White & Slipper Satin · Parma Gray & Lulworth Blue · Wevet & All White.

The right primer

For optimal coverage and durability, Farrow & Ball recommends using the coordinated primer under Skylight: Primer & Undercoat White & Light Tones.
