What color is Farrow and Ball Pavilion Blue?
Farrow and Ball Pavilion Blue 252 is a very pale, muted gray-green with a soft, lightly cool cast. Its low saturation keeps the color close to an off-white, though the gentle green undertone is more noticeable in clear daylight. In warmer artificial light, Pavilion Blue can appear quieter and more neutral, making it well suited to broad wall areas in bedrooms, bathrooms, or softly lit hallways. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, limestone, and brushed nickel for a restrained, natural-looking scheme. It also has enough subtle color to give cabinetry or a ceiling a faint wash of distinction without making the room feel heavily colored.

What are Farrow and Ball Pavilion Blue undertones?
In the supplied digital sample, Pavilion Blue reads as a very light, low-saturation near-neutral off-white, with only a faint yellow-green direction. Because the color is so close to neutral, that bias is too subtle to treat as a definite undertone rather than a slight visible cast in this sample. Farrow & Ball describes Pavilion Blue as a “fresh green blue,” which suggests the intended color identity is more clearly blue-green than the supplied HEX appears. Warm artificial light may make its faint yellow-green cast seem a little warmer, while cool daylight may keep the color looking cleaner and more neutral.
