Wall Paint - Blanc De Chine No. 9814

About Blanc De Chine No. 9814

Blanc de Chine owes its name to the exquisite porcelain originally created by master potters in the Chinese province of Fujian. In some lighting conditions it appears blue, in others white.

A shade from the Farrow & Ball Archive

Blanc De Chine is one of Farrow & Ball's archive colours: no longer in the current colour card, but still available in its original quality. Each tin is mixed to order. Due to its high pigmentation, the shade changes with the daylight: softer in the morning, deeper in the evening.
