Inchyra Blue vs Radicchio
Both from Farrow & Ball's palette. Inchyra Blue reads as blue-grey, while Radicchio reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (13 vs 12), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. Inchyra Blue runs cool while Radicchio is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 38.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Inchyra Blue vs Radicchio in Real Spaces
5 real rooms side by side. Seeing Inchyra Blue and Radicchio in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The temperature contrast between Radicchio and Inchyra Blue is what sets these apart most in this context.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Radicchio brings more warmth to the space, while Inchyra Blue keeps things cooler and crisper.
Dining Room
A dining room lit by a dimmed pendant or candles is one of the most forgiving environments for paint — warm light softens almost everything. Inchyra Blue reads more restrained here, while Radicchio adds a sense of enclosure and warmth.
House
Seen across an entire facade, subtle tonal differences become pronounced. What reads as nearly the same on a chip often reads as clearly different at scale. Radicchio brings more warmth to the space, while Inchyra Blue keeps things cooler and crisper.
Front Door
A front door is a focal point — small color differences read clearly at this concentrated scale. The temperature contrast between Radicchio and Inchyra Blue is what sets these apart most in this context.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
