Parma Gray No.27
$126
A cool mid blue
Reading as a cool blue, Parma Gray is another colour attributed to the great colourist John Fowler. Used as the backdrop to numerous costume dramas, it creates the perfect period feel when contrasted with Wimborne White. Though its cool nature can feel quite formal when contrasted with a bright white, it is a firm favourite for those who prefer a clean and crisp finish.
Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Mid Tones
Complementary white: Wimborne White
