Off-Black

No.57

A soft black

This soft black is one of the original Farrow & Ball colours - an uncomplicated name for a well loved classic. Off-Black is much more flattering to adjacent colours than stronger blacks because it feels so much milder in tone and has less of the underlying cool blue of Railings or Black Blue. 

Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Dark Tones

Complementary white: Dimpse

Off-Black is rated 4.5 out of 5 by 232.

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.

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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Black but not black We moved in to our 1890's Victorian return 14 weeks ago and while everywhere else is still being worked on and carried out I knew that I could get to work to make a statement living room pretty quickly with this absolutely gorgeous colour - Off Black Estate Emulsion statement wall and Off Black Estate Eggshell fireplace with All White on other walls, ceiling and trims. I am in love with it and can't recommend the paint enough. It paints online a dream and no lingering bad smells.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I can’t stay out of this room! I bought this color to use in a study area I created In an alcove off my bedroom. It is the softest, velvety black.I am so delighted with how it all turned out. I always hesitated to use dark colors because I was afraid I’d get this flat, heavy look. So glad I discovered Farrow and Ball. Well worth the cost.I just can’t imagine going back to the cheaper brands. I so enjoy my home; don’t like leaving the house anymore.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from black but not so black I wanted something black but not charcoal black, after two coats I got this beautiful shade of black. I love the 20% sheen effect, a bit shine but not too much glossy. Haven't tested the durability yet (I have put it on the stairs) so need to keep you updated. Feels like it dries pretty quickly so something to remember when applying.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Warm black with lovely depth Put off-black on the high ceilings in former pudding factory we turned into a suite. Took down the ceiling beautifully without become too „black“ and worked wonderfully with Ammonite on the walls. We tried Blackened first but was too blue/ too cold. Painted easily and one layer was absolutely fine on former white. Definitely recommend!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Gorgeous colour. Perfect for my project. After drying it looked slightly darker than when I first put it on, which was great. Piece looks great!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beautiful colour, just exactly off black... Very good quality paint. Easy to use and covers very well even after first layer. We use it for our garden room and it creates lovely contrast with natural wood.
