Brinjal No. 222 by Farrow & Ball is a sophisticated aubergine, named after the deep, glossy skin of the eggplant. It’s especially magnificent in Full Gloss, where the colour takes on a rich, jewel-like depth.
Use Brinjal on all walls for a warm, highly sophisticated room, or apply it as a feature wall to elevate a neutral Skimming Stone scheme. It’s also a favourite as an accent in unexpected places—like the underside of a bath or a kitchen island—adding a dramatic, designer finish without overwhelming the space.
Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Red and Warm Tones.
Complementary white: Skimming Stone.
