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: Blackened

Off-Black is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 247.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing colour and finish Absolutely love this colour. I updated my dark stained dining room fireplace, dated oak sideboard and the door using the Estate eggshell. The paint goes on effortlessly and has a great finish. I did have to leave the sideboard for a few weeks to cure before placing anything on it but the fire surround cured within a few days. The wall was painted with modern emulsion to match.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Be bold and do it I always found it challenge to work from home, so decided to make a super dark, sophisticated space that felt entirely different to the rest of the house. This F&B paint just screams elegance and we've always received compliments. The only slight gripe I have with it is that it marks fairly easily, but that's to be expected with a slightly chalk finish; I wouldn't recommend putting it in areas that receive lots of foot traffic, e.g. a hallway, but certainly any sort of office or bedroom.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great coverage and colour This is such a beautiful colour and made such a difference to an otherwise fairly uninspiring space!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Lovely colour Purchased this for a studio, but having painted the room (both walls and ceiling!), I could see this colour working beautifully in a range of spaces. It really is very chic and calming. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for something a bit different but still neutral

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect colour I wanted a bold new look for the bedroom and had decided on panelled wallpaper. But wanted one wall to be painted. ‘Off-black’ worked perfectly and went on beautifully

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Absolutely love the colour and finish Built a new Tv unit and decided on the Off black paint for it, I must say I’m so pleased with it, so pleased we actually decided then to paint our handrail and banister the same colour and again it looks amazing!
