I find that the most trying are the blue paint colors. However, a few of the colors were exceedingly difficult to find a suitable match. Fox for color at the NYSID, please raise your hand. One of my favorite projects in interior design school was to match an existing paint color by mixing the paints ourselves. I pride myself on being crazy obsessive about my color matches. And, while the images have improved, about seven of these had to be done over because the online picture was too far off the real-life sample. haha, The problem is it’s two paint companies. In my defense, night comes about an hour after lunchtime now. Part of the reason is that I did a lot of it yesterday at night. There are 11 paint colors, and it took me nine hours to figure out their equivalent color in Benjamin Moore. One of 40 Palette Boards from the Laurel Home Paint and Palette Collectionįinding the matches for these colors is not easy. It’s the pink you can safely paint your daughter’s room when that’s what *she* wants, but you’re cringing at the thought. It is very close to one of my Laurel Home Paint Collection colors, Opal oc-27 or 891. I’m going to begin with a paint color I consider one of the best colors of the bunch. The Farrow and Ball colors will appear on the left, and the Benjamin Moore equivalents are on the right. Okay, let’s jump in because I know that most of you are either getting ready to go somewhere or are cooking. Although, I don’t think any of the colors are as bad as the previously beaten dead horse– Sherwin Williams-What-Were-They-Thinking-Color-of-the-Year? Many of the colors will not have accompanying room images. (Sorta.)įor today, I’m going to keep things fairly simple. I should be able to complete that in time for Christmas. Although, I have never seen the same color from each company posted side-by-side. I am not positive that I can see the difference. Is there a difference in the look of the paint once it’s up on the wall? It’s easy to get now because you can order samples and all the paint you need (and wallpaper, too) online! Of course, if you can afford Farrow & Ball, I highly recommend getting THEIR colors from them and no other paint company. I think both make an excellent product, and I would prefer that we not debate the merits of one company over the other. This is not about pitting one against the other. Please notice the date you’ll see why I forgot about this post! However, I don’t believe I did the California Collection by Farrow & Ball.īefore I start, I want to say that I love both paint companies. If time permits, I’ll also do the Colors By Nature and The California Collection.Īctually, I already did a review of the Colors by Nature which you can see here! Therefore, for today, I will review all of the new Farrow & Ball Colors 2022. It has been five years since I updated the Big Farrow & Ball matched to Benjamin Moore color chart.
