Colour: Cardamom CB5 by Farrow & Ball

A deep, warm brown, this colour draws its inspiration from the rich, versatile spice that graces dishes around the world—cinnamon. Known for its comforting fragrance and subtle sweetness, cinnamon is a global culinary staple, adding depth to everything from spiced desserts to savory stews. The shade itself evokes the same warmth and complexity, offering a grounding, earthy tone that feels both cosy and refined.

It’s a great choice for both modern and traditional interiors, adding depth and richness to colours without the glare of more reflective finishes.

Quick tip: When using Farrow & Ball Dead Flat paint, one tip is to apply it in thin, even coats to achieve the best finish.
