De Nimes No. 299 by Farrow & Ball is a quietly elegant blue with a wonderfully down-to-earth, grounding feel. Rooted in a Regency palette and inspired by the cloth of everyday workwear made in the French city of Nîmes, it has the familiar, timeless character of denim—fashionable, but always relaxed and liveable.
This versatile blue can be used on everything from a kitchen island or cabinetry to an airy drawing room. It brings depth without heaviness and pairs beautifully with warm neutrals and soft whites for a balanced, classic scheme.
Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Dark Tones.
Complementary white: Shaded White.
