Wall paint - Dimity No. 2008

About Dimity No. 2008

Dimity is a pale beige with a reddish undertone, named after a fine cotton fabric. It brings distinct warmth and depth, creating an instantly welcoming feel in hallways and living rooms. When paired with Pointing, it appears slightly rosier, while it takes on a subtly aged look when combined with the darker Oxford Stone.

Color Impact & Light

Dimity brings a sense of calm and space to any room, serving as the perfect foundation for changing decor. Due to its high pigmentation, the tone shifts with the daylight: softer in the morning, deeper in the evening.

Combine Like the Pros

The official complementary white for Dimity is Pointing, ideal for ceilings, mouldings, and adjoining surfaces. Farrow & Ball recommended color schemes: Pointing & All White · Joa's White & Oxford Stone · Red Earth & London Stone · London Clay & Dead Salmon.
