What color is Farrow and Ball Blazer?
Farrow and Ball Blazer 212 is a mid-depth red with a softened, earthy cast, shown here as #b0504c. Its balance of red with subtle brown and muted coral notes keeps it from reading as a bright primary red. In direct daylight, it can appear clearer and more energetic, while lower or warmer light brings out its deeper, brick-like character. Use it for a dining room wall, painted kitchen cabinetry, or a front door where a grounded red feels appropriate. Blazer pairs well with warm off-whites, natural wood, aged brass, charcoal accents, and textured linen.

What are Farrow and Ball Blazer undertones?
Blazer reads as a midtone, strongly saturated red with a clear warm lean, giving it a lively red-orange character rather than a blue-red one. The supplied digital color sample shows a slight yellow bias alongside its red direction, which supports that warm impression without defining a fixed paint undertone. Farrow & Ball describes Blazer as “bright and cheerful,” which fits its visibly bold, attention-grabbing red family. Warm artificial light may make its orange-red side more noticeable, while cool daylight can make the red appear a little cleaner or less warm.
