What color is Farrow and Ball Pitch Blue?

Farrow and Ball Pitch Blue 220 is a muted mid-tone blue with a clear greyed cast, reading as a restrained slate blue rather than a bright primary. Its cool character is softened by the moderate depth of the color, so it can give walls definition without making a room feel overly dark. In daylight, Pitch Blue is likely to show its blue content more clearly, while lower or warmer artificial light can draw out its quieter grey aspect. It suits studies, bedrooms, hallways, and built-in cabinetry, especially alongside pale warm whites, soft greige, natural oak, and aged brass. For a more layered scheme, pair this shade with charcoal accents, off-white trim, and textured linen or wool in stone and oatmeal tones.

What are Farrow and Ball Pitch Blue undertones?

Pitch Blue reads as a midtone, muted blue with moderate saturation rather than a bright or heavily greyed color. Its visible character is primarily blue, with a restrained, slightly softened appearance that can make the color feel less stark than a cleaner navy or primary blue. Farrow & Ball describes it as having “a purple feel,” which suggests a violet-leaning bias within its blue main family rather than a change from blue to purple overall. Warm artificial light may bring out that softer violet cast, while cool daylight may make the blue direction appear clearer, though the result will vary with the room and surrounding colors.
