Farrow and Ball Ancona Blue 9805

Farrow and Ball Ancona Blue 9805 is a deep, softened blue with a noticeable green cast that keeps it from reading like a formal navy. It has a slightly weathered, mineral quality—rather like blue pigment faded by salt air and sun. In bright daylight, the blue-green character is clearer, while north-facing rooms may pull it toward a darker, smokier teal. Use it on kitchen cabinetry, a panelled study, or a front door where its depth can hold its own. Warm whites, pale oak, aged brass, natural linen, and terracotta bring out its earthier side, while dark green and charcoal make for a more grounded scheme.
