Wine Dark is a deep blue as rich as the story behind its name - the term was used by Homer to describe the sea, a choice readers have discussed at length. The hue of midnight skies, it's the richest of the Farrow & Ball blues. In low-light, Wine Dark becomes even deeper and almost velvety, making it particularly glamorous in candlelight. Try it in a dining room or cosy sitting room for an intimate space.
