Our truest pink
Backorder note: Our system may show Farrow & Ball paint as “backorder” due to paint being mixed as ordered.
Nancy’s Blushes No. 278 by Farrow & Ball is our truest pink, named after the rosy cheeks of a much-loved young girl called Nancy. It’s an uplifting, joyful shade that really grabs attention when paired with a bright white—perfect when you want a confident pop of colour.
For a quieter look, contrast Nancy’s Blushes with a soft neutral in shadier rooms to create charming, gentle interiors. If you want something bolder and more graphic, counterbalance it with St Giles Blue for a striking, modern contrast.
Recommended Primer & Undercoat: White and Light Tones.
Complementary white: All White.
