Because we shoot in real homes, we are not always at liberty to paint the walls. In those cases, we have chosen paint colors that best match the wall color in the photo. Please be aware that color may vary due to various light conditions, finish and other factors. Therefore, it’s always a great idea to test a paint sample on your wall first. We use Benjamin Moore paint, but most paint stores can match any color.

So disappointed. Tried to find the color of a wall paint on pg 6 of your August catalog. I called and nobody can tell me what color lavender it is:(

Hi Shele,
While we don’t know the exact color of the wall, we recommend you try Benjamin Moore’s Spring Iris 1402 for a similar look.

Is the rug available shown with the Galapagos Torquise blue walls with the dining room set?
Caroline McDonald
Lisa,
That’s the Casa Florentina Lamontagne Rug. You can find it here: https://www.ballarddesigns.com/casa-florentina-lamontagne-hand-knotted-rug/358407
So glad you like it.

I love the large painting against the dark teal wall. Is it available for sale?
Caroline McDonald
Sara,
Thanks for your comment. Both paintings on the dark teal wall are available. They’re by artist Rick Reinert.
Happy decorating!

I’m sooooooo happy I found this!!! I actually called Ballard Designs to ask them what color paint was on page 22 of their late Fall 2016 catalog. I was interested in the curtains but only if I could find the paint. I’ve been searching hi and low and even purchased a paint that ended up being waaaaaay too dark (glad I haven’t used it). Thank you!!!
Caroline McDonald
Mikka,
So happy to hear that! Just be sure to test the color in your space since paint can look drastically different from one room to the next. Thanks for your comment and good luck!

In one of the illustrations of Benjamin Moore’s “Galapagos Turquoise”, there’s a couch with nailhead trim upholstered in a dusty teal velvet (looks greener than the wall color). What is the fabric of that couch? Th Robbinsank you!

What is the paint color on pages 4 & 5 in the August 2016 catalog? I tried to look back through the old catalogs, but still couldn’t seem to find it. Sorry if I am just missing it! Thank you!

Okay, I think I see it is amber slate. Looks a little green-blue in that picture so I thought it might be different.
