Wall paint - Ballroom Blue No. 24

Ballroom Blue No. 24 – Colour Description

Ballroom Blue was traditionally used in formal rooms and ballrooms. With its exceptional depth of colour, it has the power to adorn even a large space.

A shade from the Farrow & Ball Archive

Ballroom Blue 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 the high level of pigmentation, the shade changes with the daylight – softer in the morning, deeper in the evening.

Combine like a pro

The official complementary white for Ballroom Blue is Slipper Satin – ideal for ceilings, mouldings, and adjacent areas. Colour schemes recommended by Farrow & Ball: Setting Plaster & Breakfast Room Green.
