Wallpaper and Paint Pairings – Daphne in Drama Queen
Card Room Green
Farrow+Ball®
New White
Farrow+Ball®
Daphne is a heritage-inspired botanical wallpaper with a traditional feel. The moody dark background of the Drama Queen colorway highlights a stylized dandelion motif rendered in muted green-grey tones. Elegant yet approachable, it pairs beautifully with classic paint colors, natural textures, and layered interiors.
In the dramatic bathroom shown above, Card Room Green has been applied to the trim and paneling, while New White was used for the vanity and ceiling. This combination of wallpaper and paint is dramatic and bold, while still honoring the country-home aesthetic.
Hay
Farrow+Ball®
Paired with Hay paint, Daphne feels less dramatic and more understated. The warm cream paneling and trim soften the dark wallpaper, creating a bedroom that feels cozy and welcoming.
Methodology
When choosing wallpaper and paint pairings, real wallpaper swatches and paint company fan decks are used to provide the most accurate results possible.

Getting the Best Results
While care has been taken to provide accurate recommendations, this content is intended as a source of inspiration and should not replace ordering paint samples and wallpaper swatches.
- Room lighting will affect color perception.
- Wallpaper substrates will influence final printed color.
- Different manufacturing processes and print technologies may result in slight color variation.
Which comes first?
Order your wallpaper swatch first. Paint can be adjusted almost endlessly, while wallpaper is less flexible. Finalizing your wallpaper selection first makes it much easier to choose coordinating paint colors.
