What color is Farrow and Ball Pea Flower Tea?

Farrow and Ball Pea Flower Tea CB12 is a medium blue with a clear, cool cast and enough softness to keep it from reading overly bright. Its balanced depth makes it a strong option for full walls in a study, bathroom, or child’s room, where it brings noticeable color without overwhelming the space. In daylight, this shade appears fresher and more open, while evening lighting can draw out its deeper, slightly muted side. Pair Pea Flower Tea with crisp white trim, pale stone, light oak, or brushed nickel for a clean, grounded scheme. It also has the presence to suit painted cabinetry or a front door, particularly alongside neutral brick or soft gray exterior details.

What are Farrow and Ball Pea Flower Tea undertones?

Pea Flower Tea reads as a midtone, clearly colored blue with a moderately soft but still lively level of saturation. In the supplied digital sample, it leans slightly toward green, giving the blue a cleaner, cooler-looking edge rather than a violet cast. Farrow & Ball describes it as a vivid blue, which fits its visibly strong blue main family, though the screen sample appears less intense than the word “vivid” may suggest. Warm artificial light may soften and slightly mute its blue appearance, while cool daylight can make its cooler blue-green lean more noticeable.
