Colour pairings

What colour goes with what?

The right matches, colour by colour — the dominant, the secondary and the accent that hold together.

Your colour

Already have a colour in mind?

Set your dominant and your secondary: we compute the accent (10%) that holds with them. Only have one colour? Put it in the secondary and keep a light dominant.

How do I find my colour code?+

Got a reference (a name or fan-deck number) but not the code? Three ways:

  • On the brand's website (Farrow & Ball, Little Greene, Benjamin Moore…): the colour page shows a faithful preview.
  • On Google Images: type the brand + the name or number (e.g. “Farrow & Ball Hague Blue 30”) and spot the swatch.

Or sample the colour directly, from a photo or on screen:

30%

Choose the accent (10%)

The 60/30/10 rule sets the proportions, not the taste: the dominant and secondary are yours, we suggest three accents that hold with them. Click a colour to copy the code.
