Farrow & Ball
for Jackson Hole.

Color for mountain light

Jackson sits at more than 6,000 feet, so homes there get stronger ultraviolet light than homes in the plains. In winter, snow outside the window reflects a cool, bright light deep into a room. A white that looks soft in a showroom can look stark beside a snowfield. A grey that looks warm in October can lean blue in January. That’s why we always suggest testing samples on site, on more than one wall, in both morning and late-afternoon light, before committing a whole house to one color.

Farrow & Ball colors are made with rich pigments, so they keep their depth as the light changes. For snow-lit rooms, warmer whites with a little yellow or red in them tend to settle well. Wimborne White, School House White and Cornforth White are good places to start, along with the stony depth of Skimming Stone.

Palettes for mountain-modern and rustic luxury homes

Jackson Hole architecture leans on timber, stone, steel and big glass. Paint usually supports those materials rather than competing with them. Three directions work well with that kind of architecture:

• Timber and stone. Earthy neutrals sit comfortably beside reclaimed wood and river rock, like Purbeck Stone, Ammonite and Setting Plaster for a softer, plaster-like warmth.
• Forest and sage. Greens echo the lodgepole pine and sagebrush outside. Green Smoke suits a mudroom or study, and Card Room Green and Studio Green give a library or bar real depth.
• Deep and dramatic. Darks look rich against snow and steel. Hague Blue and Railings work well on cabinetry, window frames and front doors, and Off-Black suits steel-framed details.

The Palette & Pattern page has curated pairings, and the full range is on our paint colors and wallpaper pages.

Exteriors at altitude

Mountain exteriors deal with intense sun, deep cold, freeze-thaw cycles and long winters. Farrow & Ball’s Exterior Range has three finishes. Exterior Masonry is a very matt, breathable finish for brick, render, concrete and stucco, with enhanced UV protection, and it’s self-priming on sound surfaces. Exterior Eggshell is a 20% low-sheen finish for exterior wood and metal, cladding and front doors. Full Gloss is a 95% high-shine finish for doors, trim and architectural details. We can talk through the right finish and primer for each surface. For any exterior, follow Farrow & Ball’s Product Advice Sheets on surface preparation and on the temperature limits for painting. In Teton County, the warm, dry painting window can be short, so plan exterior work around it.

How ordering works for Jackson Hole projects

1. Call the showroom at 405.740.6775. Tell us about the project, the rooms and surfaces, and your timeline. Builders and designers can give us full schedules, and we’ll organize the order by room or by phase.
2. Sample first. We can ship sample pots and color cards so you can test colors in the actual light on site. That matters more in the mountains than almost anywhere else.
3. Confirm quantities and finishes. We’ll check each color and finish against the surface, interior or exterior, wood, metal, plaster or masonry, and help estimate quantities.
4. We ship directly to Jackson Hole. Orders ship from Oklahoma City to the homeowner, and for builders we offer onsite delivery to the job site. We ship paint year-round, including through the winter. Call us for timing on your order.

Repeat orders are simple. Call with the color names, finishes and quantities from your last order, and we’ll take it from there.

For builders and designers

Many of our Jackson Hole orders come from builders and designers working on several homes at once. We can keep a record of each project’s colors and finishes, so touch-ups and later phases match. For trade orders, we deliver onsite to the job site, so materials arrive where the painters are working. If you’re specifying Farrow & Ball for a client, we can also ship sample sets for client presentations.

Wallpaper for mountain homes

Farrow & Ball wallpapers are printed with the brand’s own paint, so the color has the same depth as the paint. Botanical and textural patterns suit powder rooms, bunk rooms and primary suites in mountain homes. Browse the range on our wallpaper page and call to order or to request samples.
