Inchyra Blue
Farrow & Ball
No. 289
Inchyra Blue sits somewhere between blue, gray, and green, and shifts between all three depending on the light. It was named for Inchyra House in Scotland, mixed to suit the moody Perthshire skies above it. That changeability makes it a strong choice for drenched sitting rooms, exteriors, and cabinetry, especially alongside aged brass, tan leather, and warm plaster tones.

What is the Benjamin Moore equivalent of Inchyra Blue?
The closest Benjamin Moore match for Inchyra Blue is Knoxville Gray HC-160 (#5E6C6C). No cross-brand match is exact, because each brand mixes its own pigment formulas. Always confirm with a physical sample before specifying a substitute.
Is Inchyra Blue warm or cool?
Inchyra Blue is cool, though its green and gray undertones make it one of the more ambiguous darks in the F&B range. With an LRV of approximately 13, it is a genuinely dark color that can read blue in bright daylight and nearly charcoal-green by evening. That shiftiness is the appeal, but it demands large samples viewed at different times of day before you commit.
Why does Inchyra Blue look different on screen than on the wall?
Screens emit light while paint reflects it, so a hex code cannot capture how lighting, sheen, and surrounding colors shift paint in a real room. Treat #58686A as accurate for digital design work, and use physical samples for final approval. Farrow & Ball does not publish official hex codes, so this value is a close third-party approximation.
What LRV does Inchyra Blue have?
Inchyra Blue has a Light Reflectance Value of approximately 13, meaning it reflects about 13% of visible light. That low value makes it a dramatic, light-absorbing choice that works well with strong natural light or as an accent.
