Farrow & Ball’s NEW Paint Colors for 2025: Scallop, Marmelo, Kakelugn, Naperon, and More

Paint lovers, rejoice!farrow and ball marmelo

Farrow & Ball added 12 fresh additions to its signature palette, marking the first update since 2022. The latest hues launched on February 27, 2025.farrow and ball marmelo, farrow and ball new colours 2025

In keeping with tradition, Farrow & Ball will maintain its carefully curated selection of 132 shades.

That means the 12 new hues replaced certain colors, which were retired to “archive” status. (I’ll be writing about those colors very soon.)farrow and ball new colours 2025

The new paint colors draw inspiration from everyday household items, reflecting comfort, nostalgia, and even utility.

Think garden tools, candle snuffers, cleaning supplies, and jam jars.farrow and ball new paint colors

The result is a collection of earthy hues that prioritize warmth, familiarity, and ease.farrow and ball new colours 2025

It’s “all about things which are quite, quite small,” says Joa Studholme, Farrow & Ball’s color curator.

The term “new” is somewhat of a misnomer, as the latest additions include a few beloved shades that were previously archived.

Read on to discover all the details about the 12 paint colors joining Farrow & Ball’s signature palette — and if you’re looking for the closest dupes and matches for these 12 colors, be sure to read this post.

1. Farrow & Ball Dibber

Dibber is an earthy, mossy, olive green named after a beloved gardening tool. (Dibbers are pointed wooden sticks used to make holes to plant seeds, seedlings, or bulbs.)

What colors go with Farrow & Ball Dibber?

My favorite color pairings with Farrow & Ball Dibber are Slipper Satin, Old White, Stirabout, Jitney, Off-White, and Reduced Green, another new color.

Dibber also looks lovely with several Farrow & Ball wallpaper patterns. I snapped this photo of Dibber, along with Duster and Reduced Green, against Uppark, a dainty wildflower print. This is colorway 523, which combines Farrow & Ball Skimming Stone and All White.

2. Farrow & Ball Douter

Douter is a sooty gray-green paint color reminiscent of the tarnished brass of a traditional candle snuffer. Douter is a combination of Green Smoke and Inchyra Blue, two of Farrow & Ball’s bestselling paint colors.

This blend was very much deliberate, says Studholme, explaining that Douter fills a gap in Farrow & Ball’s signature palette.farrow and ball kakelugn, farrow and ball naperon

4. Farrow & Ball Kakelugn

Kakelugn (pronounced KAH-kel-oon) is a light blue paint color named after the folkloric fireplaces found in Sweden. Kakelugn translates to “tile stove.”farrow and ball new paint colors 2025, farrow and ball marmelo, farrow and ball new colours 2025

Sizing looks wonderful on trim paired with Kakelugn-painted walls. Above, I’ve laid both colors, along with Douter, against one of Farrow & Ball’s newest wallpaper patterns, Achard. This is colorway 6405, which combines Inchyra Blue and Lichen.farrow and ball duster, farrow and ball scallop, farrow and ball new colours 2025

5. Farrow & Ball Marmelo

Reminiscent of marmalade, the most British of condiments, Marmelo is a mellow burnt orange color named after the marmelo quince.

“I can’t help but think about the bountiful shelves of a larder bursting with jars of pickles and jams when I look at it,” says Studholme. “It’s warming and restorative.”

Clearly Marmelo is one of Studholme’s favorite new hues, as it featured heavily in the promotional images shot by James Merrell for the collection’s release. farrow and ball scallop, farrow and ball marmelo, farrow and ball new colours 2025

6. Farrow & Ball Naperon

A faded, time-worn terracotta hue, Naperon is inspired by the origins of the word “apron.”

Naperon is one shade lighter than Farrow & Ball Red Earth, another beautiful terracotta paint color.farrow and ball new colours 2025, farrow and ball kakelugn

I like Farrow & Ball Naperon paired with the paint colors Lime White, Joa’s White, Lichen, Farrow’s White, Fox Red, and Red Earth.farrow and ball new paint colors 2025

I love the cheerful warmth of Naperon. Above, I’ve placed the color, along with Scallop and Marmelo, against Farrow & Ball’s Baracé wallpaper, a pattern from the Purnon Papers collection. This is colorway 6601, which features Templeton Pink, Stirabout, and Pointing.farrow and ball sap green

7. Farrow & Ball Reduced Green

A muddy dark green with prominent brown undertones, Reduced Green is similar to Farrow & Ball Cardamom, but darker.

Reduced Green will look beautiful on exteriors (I would love to do a Dibber exterior with Reduced Green trim, or vice versa), kitchen cabinets, and in mudrooms. Pair it with soft pink Scallop, another new shade.farrow and ball new colours 2025

8. Farrow & Ball Scallop

A soft off-white with delicate pink undertones, Scallop is a lighter version of cult favorite Dead Salmon.

Its name follows a Farrow & Ball tradition of drawing color inspiration from seafood. Smoked Trout and Potted Shrimp, anyone?

Scallop, though, earns particularly high praise from Studholme, who describes the color as “incredibly precious” and “just magic.”

“I absolutely love if you do the bottom half of the wall in Etruscan Red and the top in Scallop,” Studholme continues. “Very easy stuff, but it’s beautiful.”

Studholme also suggests using Scallop on your ceilings.farrow and ball marmelo

Undoubtedly Scallop will be very popular, given the devoted following of Setting Plaster and the aforementioned Dead Salmon.farrow and ball new colours 2025

I love a yellow pantry and this image, below, is particularly striking in its artful combination of the new Farrow & Ball colors Scallop, Duster, Marmelo, and Dibber (on the shelves).farrow and ball kakelugn, farrow and ball marmelo, farrow and ball naperon

9. Farrow & Ball Sizing

Sizing is a crisp, airy, blue-based off-white paint color that evokes the freshness of clean laundry.

(Sizing, if you didn’t know, is used to add body and crispness to clothing. It’s not as strong as starch, which stiffens shirt collars and cuffs. This is per American Drycleaner, which is an actual publication.)farrow and ball kakelugn, farrow and ball marmelo

The Three Archived Revival Colors

I’m thrilled Farrow & Ball is bringing back these three archived colors, as they’re favorites of mine and many other designers—they fall into the “if you know, you know” camp of paint colors.

Broccoli Brown, in particular, is a gorgeous shade of warm, stony brown, and I was slightly surprised when it was archived. Well, she’s back, baby!farrow ball scallop, farrow and ball naperon

Here are the three paint colors Farrow & Ball reintroduced with its 2025 collection:farrow and ball douter

10. Farrow & Ball Broccoli Brown

Broccoli Brown is a quiet, dark stone color that looks lovely with weathered wood, flagstone floors, and other natural materials. It’s particularly well suited to “drenching” a room in a single color.

11. Farrow & Ball Etruscan Red

Etruscan Red is a deep brownish-red with a quiet richness. It’s browner and less intense than Preference Red, which Farrow & Ball released in 2018.

12. Farrow & Ball Sap Green

A dark and deeply saturated olive shade, Sap Green‘s reintroduction is a testament to the sustained appeal of green in the design world.

My color consultation clients can’t get enough of green, particularly colors such as Green Smoke, Pigeon, Mizzle, and Bancha.

“We have found that green is enduringly popular, especially when teamed with soft pinks,” Studholme says. “Although fairly strong, Sap Green has a slightly understated feel, especially when combined with Scallop on the ceiling.”

Studholme has a personal attachment to Sap Green. She used the bold color, along with Farrow & Ball Pink Cup, in her own home:farrow and ball scallop, farrow and ball marmelo

In Conclusion, Dear Reader

Which of these new shades will reach hall-of-fame status? Scallop is a given. I’m sure Kakelugn, Marmelo, and Naperon will be popular, as well. And given the unwavering interest in green, Douter and Reduced Green are strong contenders, too. Only time will tell which colors become classics, but one thing is certain—Farrow & Ball’s latest collection offers plenty to love.
