Kelly Wearstler ’ s love of colour has been a hallmark of her career , and she has used Farrow & Ball in her projects for more than two decades . Her debut collection will live as its own palette , one that effortlessly complements the brand ’ s existing core collection of 132 thoughtfully curated colours . Underpinned by the Farrow & Ball ethos of sustainability , each shade is eco-friendly , low- VOC , water-based , and beautifully packaged in a recyclable tin .
The California Collection is rooted in Kelly Wearstler ’ s belief that colours found in nature resonate on a visceral level , providing a sense of serenity , an innate recognition , and a feeling of belonging in the surrounding environment . In crafting the palette , Ms . Wearstler was inspired by the light of the Pacific and the landscape of California , resulting in a modern , American continuation of the Farrow & Ball tradition of celebrating colours in the local landscape .
“ I always say living without colour is like living without love , so it ’ s been a dream to partner with Farrow & Ball on a collection of paint that celebrates the emotions colour can evoke ,” says Ms . Wearstler . “ Colour is the spirit of a room , and provides expressive power to transform a space with your personal voice , whether you ’ re painting all of your walls , or just one .”

The California Collection presents a series of harmonious colours that create a dialog and represent a variety of moods , such as the earthy feel of Citrona , the the dreamy muted tones of blue-grey Hazy , or the easygoing warmth of Faded Terracotta . In keeping with Wearstler ’ s belief that “ black and white are colours too ,” the palette also includes tone-setting neutrals in the form of Tar , an off-black ; Sand , a warm white with depth and complexity ; and Salt , a bright , crisp white reminiscent of the crystalline layer left behind by the winds of the Pacific Ocean .
“ Kelly Wearstler has created a collection that perfectly complements Farrow & Ball ’ s existing palette ,” says Charlotte Cosby , Head of Creative at Farrow & Ball . “ We know that her instinctive approach to colour and passion for design will inspire people everywhere to bring colour into their homes in new and exciting ways .”
