Down Pipe

No.26

A dramatic lead grey

Down Pipe, a dark lead grey, has definite blue undertones to it which deepen the complexity of the finish. Originally inspired by the colour used to paint downpipes and guttering, it has been embraced for use inside the home with fanatical zeal! This daringly dark hue is fabulous as a background to art, and extremely effective for use in halls to create a deeply dramatic entrance to the home. 

Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Dark Tones

Complementary white: Dimpse

Down Pipe is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 346.

ECO-FRIENDLY AND CHILD-SAFE

Back in 2010, we moved our entire range to an eco-friendly water base that’s low odour, low VOC and child-safe, becoming the first in the industry to do so. Easy to clean without harmful solvents, in tins that can be recycled again and again, our paints help to reduce the environmental impact of redecorating your home.


QUALITY FINISHES

Every one of our paint colours is available in a range of durable interior and exterior paint finishes, each rigorously tested to ensure an exceptional depth of colour and long-lasting finish. For the very best results, we always recommend using a Farrow & Ball Primer & Undercoat – see above for the correct tone for this colour.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quality products We’ve used F&B before, when we repainted the outside of our house so had no hesitation when we decided to give our kitchen a makeover! We changed the worktops and chose to paint over the existing wood finish to the doors, drawers units etc. Our craftsman eulogised about the ease of application (2xprimer + 2x finish) and the effect was even better than expected! I don’t think the cost was much different from the ‘trade’ brands but even if there had been, the quality of the finish would have been worth any extra! Many thanks F&B, we’ll be back!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wooden Fixed,Glazed room divider renovation. This was exactly what I was looking for and the colour was perfect, unfortunately, the finish was rather too flat and so I purchased the exact same colour in Estate Eggshell, and I am delighted with the finish. It has also been admired by everyone I sent photographs to.
