Interior design studio Roman and Williams has installed cabinets inside its New York showroom that are filled with tchotchkes coloured to match a new paint palette by Farrow & Ball.
The installation at boutique furniture store RW Guild comprises three wooden cabinets with Dutch glass fronts that are filled with decorations that have been painted in a range of colours.

Displays include bronze sculptures of birds and 18th-century botanical models, which have been dipped in paints from the collection Colour by Nature.
Roman and Williams created the showcase to celebrate the launch of the new collection by Farrow & Ball. Created in collaboration with London's Natural History Museum, the palette draws on shades first noted in German geologist Abraham Gottlob Werner's Nomenclature of Colours book from 1814.
Charles Darwin used the classification book on his travels, including his four-year voyage around South America, New Zealand and Australia on the HMS Beagle. The book helped him reference hues before the advent of colour photography.

Four pale tones are in the Colour by Nature collection, including Snow White, Orange coloured White, Skimmed milk White and Ash Grey. Animals, minerals and vegetation are credited to colours, with examples such as Carara marble, opal, the neck of a mallard, the crest of a golden crested wren, flint and dead leaves of grass cited.
