Blanc De Chine

Farrow & Ball Blanc de Chine Colour Profile

Blanc de Chine is a porcelain-inspired off-white with the faintest hint of celadon. It feels more considered than a standard decorators’ white yet still reads light and airy. Use it when you want calm, gallery-like walls that flatter art, antiques and layered textiles.

The whisper of green in the undertone means Blanc de Chine excels in north-facing rooms, counteracting cooler light and preventing spaces from feeling sterile. It also plays well with natural textures, from limewash to bleached oak.

Best Blanc de Chine Dupes

Fired Earth Opal Green delivers an impressive 4 ⭐ match, capturing the same porcelain clarity with a premium finish. For a widely available option, try PPG / Johnstone’s Frivolous Folly (PPG1128-2), which shares Blanc de Chine’s soft green cast without veering too minty.

PPG Bay of Fundy (PPG10-07) is another strong contender if you prefer a slightly warmer read. All three alternatives let you achieve Blanc de Chine’s serene backdrop at a more budget-friendly price.

How to Use Blanc de Chine

Set it against chalky mouldings, pale travertine and brushed brass for a subtle take on luxury. In contemporary spaces, pair it with microcement floors, sculptural lighting and black accents for a minimalist palette that still feels inviting. Because the colour is so refined, it also makes an excellent choice for kitchen cabinetry or bespoke wardrobes.
