Oval Room Blue No. 85 by Farrow & Ball is a darkened historic blue and the most blackened of their blues, giving it a subtly aged, timeworn character. Named after the attractively shaped rooms of the late 18th century, it feels classic and architectural—rich without being overly bright.
Oval Room Blue sits perfectly alongside Farrow & Ball’s popular greys, creating depth and balance in a hallway or a darker, cosier family room. Use it for feature walls, full-room colour, or cabinetry when you want a heritage blue that feels grounded and sophisticated.
Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Mid Tones.
Complementary white: Ammonite.
