Natural History Museum Archived Collection.

Color By Nature

Luminous ‘Dutch Orange’, inky ‘Imperial Purple’ and vibrant ‘Lake Red’ – Farrow & Ball’s new paint range ‘Colour by Nature’ is a bright and beautiful endorsement of the brand’s historic roots. Just as the company was formed, matching paints to historic interiors in partnership with the National Trust, this new capsule collection has been developed in collaboration with another great British institution, the Natural History Museum.

In keeping with Farrow & Ball’s heritage ethos, the new range harks back to a palette featured in a rare 19th-century book from the museum’s archive, Werner’s Nomenclature of Colours – a fitting choice as it is also renowned for inventive colour naming. First published in 1814, the book documents colours found in the natural world and was used by Charles Darwin in his scientific observations.
