Vardo

No.288

A rich teal

This rich teal takes its name from highly decorated traditional horse drawn Romany wagons. Often used in the intricate patterning of these beautifully painted homes, Vardo is so full of life and joy it seemed natural to name it after something renowned for its flamboyant colour. This bright colour works particularly well with reds or dark greys. 

Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Dark Tones

Complementary white: Shaded White

Vardo is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 175.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Superb & Calm Deep Green We have been trying to find a dark colour for our living room and we finally settled on Vardo. The colour is amazing, deep and calming and very elegant. The paint is such good quality, one coat and a few touch ups and we had it done in a day and a half. Thanks F&B, you are our go-to paint shop forever now.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from First time user, long term friend! I bought vardo from our local DIY shop. I've never used Farrow and ball before, but it's absolutely amazing and high quality too. We did another two walls and we've wallpapered the chimney and alcove area. Everyone at Christmas, commented on how it's made the room look much nicer than the very plain white it had been.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great with dark grey Our large open plan sitting room needed some deep colours to make it feel homely and Tanara at the Summertown store in Oxford was very knowledgeable and helpful. It looks stunning. Photo is panoramic and obviously not yet furnished but it gives an idea.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Such depth of colour We recently painted our bedroom with this beautiful Vardo, and we love the result. Contrary to what some people warned us, it has not made the room feel smaller or darker. The colour is so complex and deep, it looks different with the differing light throughout the day and night, and really is stunning. Absolutely love it. We used a 5L tub and it easily did all 4 walls with 2 coats, with a 3rd coat for good measure on the main, largest wall. We were novices at painting, but easily got a good, even covering as the paint is such good quality.
