There's no doubt about it, we're all drawn to different colours when it comes to interior design - one person's showcase shade is another's cover-up job! From classic neutrals to contemporary brights, Farrow & Ball have a palette to suit every taste, but what does your choice say about you...?

If Dix Blue appeals, you likely see your home as a little oasis of calm, a serene retreat away from hectic day-to-day life. To avoid a chilly feel, introduce warmth with patterned furnishings and accessories.
Yellowcake, No. 279
A sunny shade for a sunny person! Those who are drawn towards yellow are friendly, welcoming and love to entertain. Show off your warm personality by choosing Yellowcake. Its luminous quality encourages positive thoughts - use it in sociable rooms such as the dining room or snug for happy get-togethers with friends and family.
Breakfast Room Green, No. 81
If green walls appeal, you're more than likely an outdoorsy person - a stroll through the countryside surrounded by nature is where you feel most at peace. Recreate this feeling of harmony with Breakfast Room Green. A muted shade inspired by leafy botanicals, it retains its upbeat hue in any light, making it a great choice for your most lived-in rooms.

Stiffkey Blue, No.281
Those inspired by rich, jewel tones strive to bring a touch of elegance into everything they do - including their décor.
Outgoing and confident, you're not afraid to go bold with colour. Contrast Stiffkey Blue with Brassica (No. 271, shown on the here on the woodwork) for a room with plenty of va-va-voom!
Wimbourne White, No. 239
Surprisingly, those who paint their walls white often have the most confidence in their interior taste and are often colour enthusiasts. A keen follower of trends but practical in nature, you've made the decision to achieve the look you want with accessories and furnishings - saves you re-painting walls every time you browse House to Home!
Purbeck Stone, No. 275
Sophisticated yet reserved, grey-lovers aren't ones for bold colour statements on walls - they prefer to let their possessions do the talking. Make it the focal point of a room rather than the backdrop by working three different shades. A light colour such as Wevet (No.
273) works well on walls - contrast with darker shades (Purbeck Stone and Down Pipe (No.26)) on woodwork and flooring for chic, understated style.
