Farrow & Ball Mizzle and Down Pipe

Teaming up Farrow & Ball's Mizzle and Down Pipe is a failsafe color combination for Denver-based interior designer Nadia Watts. In the kitchen shown above, Nadia used Mizzle as the main color choice across the kitchen cabinet ideas, adding contrast with Down Pipe for the kitchen island ideas. 

'It's hard to choose just one favorite from Farrow & Ball,' she begins. 'I love the combination of Mizzle and Down Pipe. These in-between colors are almost like a neutral, they work well with so many other colors and patterns. Mizzle is a soft gray-green reminiscent of a misty drizzle, hence the name. The gray undertones work well with Down Pipe, which also has gray undertones. Down Pipe has a deep blue hue which brings complexity and richness. These two colors work great for cabinetry as well as walls. Because they are in between colors, they play well with others and will withstand trends.'

Interior designer Nadia Watts also nods toward this non-permanent approach to color. “I suggest starting with pillows and accent lighting; pillows are a great way to add a pop of color in your room without having to commit to a fully upholstered piece of furniture and an accent lamp with color can feel like a big step,” she says. “Remember that you can always move the lamp to different rooms and change the lamp shade.”

American Cheese and Nacho Cheese by Benjamin Moore

“Two warm colors I use that are underrated are Benjamin Moore American Cheese and Nacho Cheese. These are in the middle of the color deck, and at first glance seem to have a fair amount of white, but don’t be fooled by this. Once they are up on the walls they are cheerful and a breath of fresh air.” —Nadia Watts
