Farrow & Ball

Dix Blue

No. 82

Dix Blue is a muted blue-green with a smoky quality, sitting between teal and steel blue. Its green undertone prevents it from appearing too sharp or cold, and at an LRV of 66.5 it reflects a moderate amount of light, making it functional in both bright and dimmer interiors. The subdued saturation gives it a heritage-appropriate character well suited to north-facing rooms.

Farrow & Ball Shaded White or Ammonite maintain a soft neutral base alongside it, while Pigeon or Oval Room Blue extend the tonal range. Setting Plaster introduces warmth as a counterpoint.
