The 2025 Farrow & Ball Colours at a Glance
The 2025 collection is made up of twelve colours: nine new shades, Scallop, Dibber, Reduced Green, Sizing, Naperon, Marmelo, Kakelugn, Douter and Duster, plus three reintroduced Archive favourites, Etruscan Red, Broccoli Brown and Sap Green. They lean towards warm, earthy and grounding tones, from terracotta and ochre to muddied greens and a soft salmon pink, and every one can be hand-painted onto bespoke cabinetry.
Scallop (No. 311)
Scallop is a softer salmon hue that is inspired by both the gentle tone and the elegant curves of prized shellfish. This delicate and refined take on “Dead Salmon” brings warmth and subtle sophistication, creating a timeless, inviting atmosphere. Balanced between muted pink and earthy undertones, it offers a sense of quiet charm and effortless elegance. This softened colour would look beautiful hand-painted on a kitchen island or a dresser.
Dibber (No. 312)
Dibber is a down-to-earth green and takes its name from the trusted tool used by gardeners to plant seeds and bulbs. This muddied green has an earthy depth that reflects the richness of soil and foliage, creating a natural, grounding presence in any space. Subtle yet characterful, Dibber brings an organic warmth that feels effortlessly connected to the outdoors.
Reduced Green (No. 313)
Reduced Green is an intense muddied green which sits perfectly between green and brown. This deep, enigmatic shade shifts subtly in different lights. With the green pigment dialled back to the barest hint, this dark hue takes on an earthy, almost weathered quality. Some will see green, while others perceive a rich brown. With a muted intensity, this beautiful grounding neutral is full of depth and quiet sophistication.
Sizing (No. 314)
Sizing is a crisp, blue-based neutral, carrying its undertones to give a clean, airy feel. It is inspired by the crispness of freshly starched linens, bringing a sense of lightness and effortless elegance to any space. Cool yet inviting, it works beautifully in both contemporary and traditional settings, offering a subtly refreshing touch.
Naperon (No. 315)
Naperon is a familiar terracotta inspired by the origins of the word apron, and is a delightfully warm and earthy shade that captures the essence of timeworn clay. Rich in character and steeped in tradition, this colour brings a well-loved feel to a cherished kitchen with comforting hues of sunbaked pottery. Its deep, grounding presence brings warmth and nostalgia to any space, making it a timeless and inviting choice.
Marmelo (No. 316)
Marmelo is a grounded orange hue named after the marmelo quince, the fruit that inspired marmalade. This rich, earthy orange carries a sense of warmth and reassurance. Filled with a natural depth, this beautiful colour evokes the golden glow of preserved fruits and sun-ripened orchards, making it a truly comforting shade for the home. Make your kitchen space welcoming with this grounding and uplifting shade.
Kakelugn (No. 317)
Kakelugn is a clean light blue that offers a crisper, cleaner feel than “Light Blue” while retaining a sense of softness. Named after the folkloric fires of Sweden, Kakelugn carries a delicate yet distinctive charm. This fresh blue brings an airy lightness to any space, evoking open skies and the gentle hues of Scandinavian tradition.
Douter (No. 318)
Douter is a smoky grey-green inspired by the soot and aged brass of traditional candle snuffers. The richness of the colour carries an air of understated elegance. It’s a softer, greener interpretation of the beloved “Inchyra Blue”, balancing depth with a subtle smokiness, and will bring a sense of heritage and warmth to any space.
Duster (No. 319)
Duster is a deep ochre that pays tribute to the humble yet familiar cloth found in homes across the world. Rich with warmth and history, this aged yellow tone carries a sense of comfort and tradition. Evoking the patina of well-loved interiors and the golden hues of timeworn textiles, it brings an inviting, lived-in charm to any space.
Etruscan Red (No. 56)
Etruscan Red is a brown-based deep red inspired by the enduring hues of an ancient civilisation. This earthy red carries a sense of history and warmth. It is less intense than “Preference Red” but remains undeniably rich yet effortlessly balanced, offering depth without overwhelming a space. Its brown undertones create a grounded, timeworn feel, making it a timeless and welcoming colour choice for any interior.
Broccoli Brown (No. 198)
Broccoli Brown is a quiet dark stone which exudes a sense of calm and quiet sophistication. It feels both grounded and timeless, complementing natural materials like weathered wood and flagstone floors. Its reserved character brings a sense of stillness, while its depth offers warmth and comfort, making it a versatile and enduring choice for any space.
Sap Green (No. 199)
Sap Green is a true earthy green and a celebration of nature’s richness. Its earthy tone brings warmth and depth, making it feel both grounding and inviting. Wonderfully intense in smaller spaces, it creates a cocooning effect, while in large spaces, it seamlessly blends with natural surroundings for a timeless, organic feel.
