A deep dark blue
This strong blue takes its name from the fantastically coloured woodwork much used by the Dutch, and still works wonderfully to ground skirtings or as an accent colour on the walls when teamed with Borrowed Light. The green undertones of this timeless, deep and dramatic blue means it sits as happily outside as it does in small dark rooms.
We’re dedicated to perfecting the art of paint. At our home in Dorset, we combine the finest ingredients, 75 years of experience and technical precision to help you create beautiful spaces that stay beautiful. Even in our colour rich paints, less than 8% of the tin is the colour. The other 92% is what creates the quality, depth and extraordinary response to light that transforms your home.
Paint is like coffee. The colour is the froth on the top, but it’s the quality of the rest of the cup that makes it taste good. – Richard Ball, Farrow & Ball Co-founder
We use twelve exclusive pigments, all specifically selected for their colour intensity. We take colour seriously, so naturally, we only accept the very best. By using these same pigments to make every colour in our palette, all our shades combine effortlessly, making it easy for you to put together a cohesive colour scheme.
Deeper, richer colours
Deeper, richer colours
Packed with pigment for an extraordinary response to every kind of light.
We add generous helpings of rich pigment to create our signature look – deep colours with complex undertones. The same space that feels bright and airy in morning sun, can feel cosy and intimate by evening. Our teams design each shade under every kind of light, so it will be perfectly balanced in every setting.
Extraordinary response to light
Extraordinary response to light
We spend months carefully crafting and testing each of our paint colours to make sure they share our signature extraordinary response to light. This beautiful reaction to changing light, like bringing out different undertones or shifting intensity, is what makes our paint so special.
Interior and exterior finishes

Deep & luxuriousI decided to drench my guest bedroom in Hague blue, well my decorator did , ha .. I have always loved the colour and I have been feeling brave wiit my darker colour choices around my home lately so I decided to take the plunge. The room was painted in Denim before which I loved, I just cannot stand white ceilings and white woodwork anymore so the drenching a room on one colour is perfect for me and I love how different it has made the room . I would highly recommend this colour if you want a room to just feel luxurious and quite calming , I decided to have no pictures on the wall in my newly painted guestroom as I wanted the only art to be the window and the view which is really lush when a whole room is drenched in one colour and i love how sexy it has made my white radiator too.

Beautiful paint!I was looking to refresh the colour scheme in our North-facing bedroom, and chose Hague Blue. It is such a beautiful colour, the pigment is so rich and the colour changes from a blue to a green as the light changes throughout the day. It looks fantastic against our oak doors and skirtings and has given the room a really welcoming feel.

Exquisite dark blueHave used this in the lounge and office/smallest bedroom and it just looks opulent. I have paired with sulking room pink and receive many compliments on the depth of the colour. There is nothing else like it. You do have to be careful though as the paint does show all marks so if you have kids with grubby fingers, just be cautious. Try it, you won’t be disappointed!

Worth every penny... or cent.This paint is amazing! I love the dead flat finish and the coverage is excellent. The color is rich and the finish is durable and doesn't get chalky like other flat paints that I have used in the past.

Gorgeous colorHague Blue is a very sophisticated, rich color. My son chose it for his bedroom and while moody, it also reflects light beautifully. His room feels sophisticated and much more grown up. The first coat looked teal and worried me but the end result is better than I imagined.

Strong and vibrant colour.We are refurbishing a Victorian terrace and are using the opportunity to bring strong colour back to the house (after many years of a neutral palette!). I fell in love with the wallpaper on the chimney breast and wanted a deep blue to compliment the overall feel of the dining room, without being too dark.
We've gone for the Hague Blue to the picture rail and Wevet from the picture rail to the coving and absolutely delighted with the results. Combined with the white woodwork and oak furniture, this is the 'grown up' room I've longed for and look forward to many happy hours here.

Hague Blue libraryWe painted the library/den fireplace walls and trim in Hague Blue. It’s a gorgeous color but coordinating paint colors seem to be limited- the curtains in here are a dark plaid and they work well with it It’s as if it wants to be the star of the room. We had the first coat sprayed and top coat brushed for a more historical look. Used different formulas for walls and trim.

Dead flat. Hard workTook 6 coats in some places.Very patchy. I did wonder if the batch was damaged as gave me an almost eggshell finish (left a day between coats so had dried). Still not perfect, still patchy in places but gave up the will to live after 5th coat. Beautiful colours, reflects back the shimmer of my tears. Have always used F&B, no problems. 1st time using dead flat. 2 pieces of advice. Defo Use coat of f&b undercoat before you start, and buy the most expensive rollers you can find to avoid considering a descent in alcoholism.

Using Estate Emulsion was a VERY BAD IDEA!!We decided to use estate emulsion for our spare bedroom, as we wanted a matt chalk finish (tick!) and it was a low traffic room (tick!). We love the colour - really rich and lustrous. HOWEVER… once the paint had dried, we found that even touching the wall (eg to put up picture hooks) left really obvious and nasty greasy marks, so we followed the F&B technical advice and used a clean, damp cloth to remove marks, only to find that the paintwork was marked even worse! It looks awful! To be fair to F&B they listened to our complaint and have supplied some “dead flat” finish paint which apparently doesn’t suffer from these problems. My advice to anyone choosing a dark shade of paint is, steer clear of the estate emulsion version!

Chips and peels really easily.I painted my hallway in Hague Blue, stunning colour. I love it but found that I am continually repainting areas around the door that chip and peel. It’s been a year and you’d expect the paint to settle. I’m still touching up.

Gorgeous colour but disappointing finishI was very much looking forward to working with Farrow & Ball paint as this was the first time I was ordering paint from them. I was absolutely delighted by how quickly the paint was sent over and how securely packed it arrived. The Colour (Hague Blue) is a stunning shade of dark blue with a rich green undertone, that looks very pleasant and relaxing in a bedroom. While applying the first coat I noticed that the result was relatively uneven and followed the instructions by applying a second coat over it. The overall result was much better after that second coat, although I could still notice a few slightly uneven area once the second coat was fully dry, which for the price of the paint I thought was a little upsetting. The (unpleasant) surprise came a few days later, once one would assume the pain would be fully dried/set, I noticed a few marks here and there on the paint. Realizing that every time someone would brush, even lightly against the wall it would leave some sort of mark on the paint. I did opt for the Modern Emulsion as it was advertised as a super-tough, easy to clean finish for interior walls and ceilings. I would have thought a paint that is recommended for bathroom and kitchen would definitely stand the test of time in a bedroom but apparently I was wrong. I have used a lot of paint from many different brands but I have never seen a paint getting so many marks so quickly. Which is a shame because I think the colours from Farrow & Ball are absolutely stunning and probably unmatched, but given the price and the fact the paint marks so easily I am not sure I will be purchasing from them again.

DisappointedI purchased Hague Blue (dead flat) with the intent to make a cozy office for my husband and making an 'investment' with a high quality, durable paint, and this seemed to fit the bill. I give a star for the color - it is beautiful. I am however very disappointed with the paint itself. It did not go on smoothly like other paints I have used and despite primer + 3 coats, there are still streaky spots. The texture seems to be so matte that every single spec of dust clings to the walls - if your finger accidentally brushes the wall when flicking on the light switch, you are going to see it. It seems to scratch easily. For example, I *very* gently leaned a plastic bin against the wall while moving furniture back in and it dinged. After the cost, time and effort to renovate the room, I'm disappointed and lament thinking I might just have to repaint it again soon because its just not practical. I expected luxury and that is not what I have.

Do not recommendI just finished painting an office room and shelving unit in dead flat Hague blue. The reasonably delicate act of adding a book to the shelf completely lifted the paint. For that reason I consider this a completely unusable and overpriced product, and will no longer be a customer.

Worst paint everPossibly the worst paint I’ve ever used, painted some bespoke wardrobes with this and it took over three weeks to dry!!! It was still so tacky after two weeks that when I turned the doors over painted ripped off and finger marks were all over any part that I touch. Beyond dissatisfied it’s ended up costing me over £1000 to and that’s not counting the hours and hours I’ve wasted painting and repainting! So upset.
