Warmth & Depth
This colour board featuring Farrow & Ball paints is ideal for north-facing rooms or particularly dark areas. While many of the shades still have an underlying grey tone, the central colour has a warm lilac base note that brings warmth and depth to the scheme.
Red-based Neutrals
One reason this colour board works well in darker areas or north-facing rooms is that all the neutrals are red-based. These colours add warmth and subtle elegance, making them perfect for both traditional and contemporary settings. If you would like to add a pop of colour, try introducing a vibrant contrast with this sage green.
Colour Scales
I love Little Greene’s “Colour Scales”, which are graduated colours, usually four, grouped according to undertone. The three central colours featured on this board are all the same, only with lighter and darker tints. They are all warm and contemporary. I’ve added a coordinating white and a darker accent to balance the scheme.
Embrace Dark Colours
Another approach to darker areas of your home is to embrace the lack of light rather than fighting against it. This board features Farrow & Ball colours and showcases a fabulous dark blue/green paired with a classic green/blue. Use these deep, saturated colours to create a cosy, snug atmosphere in a room.
Contemporary Pinks
Little Greene recently introduced a new collection called “Sweet Treats”. This colour board features one of the new shades from this collection. The two contemporary pinks, paired with classic neutrals and white, are ideal for dark hallways or north-facing rooms, as the red undertones will radiate warmth throughout.
