Pale Powder

No.204

A gentle aqua

Our most popular shade of aqua is a lighter version of an archived Farrow & Ball colour, Powder Blue. Pale Powder has an unparalleled softness and in north facing rooms can read almost as a delicate grey, but it is rarely cold due to the addition of green pigment. It is a great favourite for use in pretty attic bedrooms where it can be brushed onto both ceiling and walls to create an airy feeling of light and space. 

Recommended Primer & Undercoat: White & Light Tones

Complementary white: Pointing

Pale Powder is rated 4.9 out of 5 by 135.

ECO-FRIENDLY AND CHILD-SAFE

Back in 2010, we moved our entire range to an eco-friendly water base that’s low odour, low VOC and child-safe, becoming the first in the industry to do so. Easy to clean without harmful solvents, in tins that can be recycled again and again, our paints help to reduce the environmental impact of redecorating your home.


QUALITY FINISHES

Every one of our paint colours is available in a range of durable interior and exterior paint finishes, each rigorously tested to ensure an exceptional depth of colour and long-lasting finish. For the very best results, we always recommend using a Farrow & Ball Primer & Undercoat – see above for the correct tone for this colour.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Lovely greeny grey paint. Beautiful colour and paint to work with. Don’t believe others who say you can colour match it, the quality of the paint really is far superior.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A joy to paint with I'm using this to upcycle my kitchen chairs for the nth time. I've used F&B paints and a variety of other wood paints over the years and F&B is hands-down the best. Like the colour. Very pale in good light, turning greener in the shade.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Exactly what I wanted I have just painted my bedroom in Pale Powder. It was Mizzle previously and although I still liked the colour it had never worked well in this room. It felt like there were dull and slightly gloomy corners, although overall it was a restful feel. This is lighter, fresher, and softer with no shadows and achieves exactly what I hoped it would.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Superb I had read the reviews about Pale Powder looking different colours in different lights. This is definitely the case in my room that runs north to south but I love it. Paint went on like a dream and used a lot less than expected. Converted to F& B.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Just the shade I wanted I’ve been looking for a paint in this colour/shade for a while and it covered really well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It is an amazing colour I've had this for years and years now and keep repainting it onto two East facing walls and it is so gentle and beautiful, changing from a bluish white to a translucent aqua to a rich warm pale blue-grey depending on the light. It should go with everything from Scandi and New England to 'romantic' and retro modern (tho perhaps not so much traditional/ classical/ country house). Fantastic colour that I just don't seem to get tired of.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from very pretty for north facing kids bedroom I applied it in my son's bedroom, which is facing north. I was looking after something vague between green/blue/grey but fresh and crispy for a young kid. I got it with Pale Powder and can't be happier with the result. Massive thanks F&B for your magic.
