Dimpse No. 277 is a cool and delicate grey, named after a West Country dialect word for the colour of twilight. One of Farrow & Ball’s cooler Architectural Neutrals, it sits between Pavilion Gray and Blackened, with subtle blue undertones that feel crisp and contemporary.
Dimpse is especially at home in modern architectural spaces where you want a clean, minimal look without going stark. Use it on walls for a calm, airy backdrop, or brush it onto kitchen units for a refined finish. For a sharp, modern scheme, pair Dimpse cabinetry with a Down Pipe island, and keep ceilings/trim bright with Blackened.
