What color is Farrow and Ball Titmouse Blue?

Farrow and Ball Titmouse Blue W24 is a deep, muted blue with a noticeable charcoal cast and a faint violet lean. Its low brightness gives it a weighty, enveloping presence, especially in rooms with limited natural light, where it can read almost like a softened black-blue. In brighter daylight, the blue character becomes clearer while the restrained saturation keeps it from feeling overly bold. Use this shade on a study wall, library cabinetry, or a dining room ceiling for definition without a sharp contrast. Pair it with warm off-whites, weathered oak, brushed brass, or pale stone to bring out its quiet blue undertone.

What are Farrow and Ball Titmouse Blue undertones?

Titmouse Blue reads as a deep, very muted blue-purple, with a low-saturation, charcoal-like overall character rather than a bright blue appearance. In the supplied digital sample, the subtle bias leans purple, though that shift is restrained and can be hard to separate from the color’s darkness. Farrow & Ball’s provided description calls it a color with a “smart look” and “luxurious atmosphere,” but it does not state a specific undertone. Warm artificial light may draw out its subdued red-purple cast, while cool daylight can make its blue side appear more noticeable.
