Pitch Blue is a mid-toned blue from Farrow & Ball. As a premium paint, it’s a popular colour to seek out close matches and value-brand alternatives to.
Wild Wisteria by Johnstone's is the closest match from any other brand (very close) — though it’s darker (about 2 LRV points). It’s also the best-value tier of the close matches — unusual, as the nearest match and the best-value one usually differ. No other brand gets within a near-identical match of Pitch Blue — it’s one of the more distinctive colours in the library, so expect a visible difference whichever you pick. LRV is estimated from each brand’s swatch, so order testers before committing.
