Product Description

Farrow & Ball Brinjal No.222 is a sophisticated aubergine, named after the deep, shiny skin of the vegetable. Farrow & Ball say this makes it particularly magnificent in Full Gloss.

Farrow & Ball pair Brinjal with Skimming Stone as its complementary white. Their suggested schemes combine it with Elephant's Breath and Skimming Stone, Charleston Gray and Dove Tale, or All White and Strong White.

What colour is Brinjal?

Brinjal is a deep, sophisticated aubergine. Farrow & Ball say it can give a warm and highly sophisticated finish when used on all walls.

Where to use Farrow & Ball Brinjal No.222

Farrow & Ball say Brinjal is more often used as a feature wall to lift a neutral Skimming Stone scheme, or as an accent on the underside of a bath or a kitchen island.

Choose Estate Emulsion or Modern Emulsion for walls and ceilings, Dead Flat for a completely flat look across walls and woodwork, and Flat Eggshell, Modern Eggshell or Full Gloss for woodwork and cabinets. For exteriors, choose Exterior Masonry or Exterior Eggshell for breathable, weather-resistant performance. Casein Distemper is also available in this colour.
