Skylight No. 205 by Farrow & Ball is a pale, traditional blue-grey named after the soft natural light that pours through ceiling skylights. It’s less reflective than Borrowed Light, giving it a calmer, more grounded feel while still keeping spaces light and airy.
In small rooms, Skylight reads as a definite cool blue, creating a crisp, fresh look. In larger areas it becomes paler and greyer, making it a versatile choice for open-plan spaces, bedrooms, bathrooms, and hallways where you want a classic blue that adapts beautifully to the light.
Recommended Primer & Undercoat: White and Light Tones.
Complementary white: Wevet.
