Why Farrow & Ball’s Dead Salmon and Hague Blue Are Redefining Rich Hues
You have probably heard about the new trend of color drenching. But before we get into that, let’s talk about two shades that have completely won our heart: Farrow & Ball’s Dead Salmon and Hague Blue.
These paints are rich, dramatic, and dare we say it—transformative.
Let’s dive into why these colors are not just statement-makers, but also timeless choices that will leave your space feeling elevated, cozy, and dripping with character.
Dead Salmon: The Quirky Neutral with a Funny Name
Farrow & Ball’s Dead Salmon is not what you’d expect. It’s a muted, soft pinkish-brown with just enough depth to make it sophisticated but not too serious. There’s a certain mystery to this color that makes it perfect for spaces where you want a warm but unexpected neutral.
But here’s where it gets even more exciting—color drenching. Imagine this: you don’t just paint your walls in Dead Salmon, but you also bring the color across the trim, the doors, and yes, even the ceiling. That’s right, the 5th wall, the ceiling, is just as important.
Color drenching creates a seamless, cocoon-like atmosphere that draws you in. Dead Salmon’s soft, warm tone makes it perfect for this treatment —imagine a bedroom or study drenched in color. The effect is intimate and timeless.
Hague Blue: The Ultimate Power Move
Now, if you’re craving something with more drama and mood, allow us to introduce you to Hague Blue. This deep, inky, navy blue is bold, luxurious, and has an old-world charm that makes any room feel instantly rich. Hague Blue has a richness that plays with light beautifully, becoming deeper and moodier at night and bringing an air of sophistication during the day.
Hague Blue absolutely sings when you go all-in with color drenching. Enveloping a room in this color creates an immersive experience. It’s as if the walls disappear, and the color just wraps you up.
Whether you’re drawn to the sophistication of Dead Salmon or the rich, bold drama of Hague Blue, both colors will completely transform your space.
When combined with the magic of color drenching and the bold decision to paint the ceiling, these hues offer a level of depth and intimacy that’s hard to achieve with lighter, safer shades.
So, are you ready to break the mold and go bold? It’s time to embrace the power of rich, saturated colors and give your home the character it deserves. Your walls—and your ceiling—are begging for it!
