A cool white

Our coolest white, with the slightest hint of grey, was historically made with the addition of lamp black pigment gathered from the smoke of burning oil lamps. Blackened sits perfectly with each of our Architectural Neutrals for a minimal look or stronger industrial feel. It’s particularly spectacular when used in Full Gloss within stainless steel kitchens, or when paired with All White for an uncompromisingly modern finish.

Key features

The finest ingredients

The finest ingredients

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

Interior and exterior finishes

From walls, floors and furniture to radiators, skirtings and sheds, our range of paint finishes can help you transform almost any surface in your home (and outside it, too).

We even have multi-surface finishes like Dead Flat® and Full Gloss, so you can tackle walls, woodwork and metal at the same time. 

Our comprehensive range is comprised of paint finishes that not only look beautiful, but offer different practical benefits. Designed for a variety of different surfaces, each finish is compatible with our high-performance Primers & Undercoats to ensure exceptional coverage, adhesion and depth of colour.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Surprise We are doing up an old cottage with tiny windows. The snug had wood chip paper all over painted in a dark red to walls and ceiling with built in bookshelfs stained dark oak. Including fake beams We took it all out, panelled the walls and the ceiling. Blackened to the walls and AllWhite modern eggshell to the new fitted book cases and fake fire surround. Plain white to the ceiling and its fake beams. To our surprise the blackened seems to have a faint blue hinge and the overall effect is soothing. Like with all F&B paints it responds to surrounding colours, the incoming light and obviously your lighting. To me that is it’s beauty

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Dreadful We are redecorating our whole house and bought masses of this gloss hoping to do upstairs and down with it. We have given up. We fully prepared the surfaces to be painted and invested hours not only in prep, but in time spent painting. We did at least three coats, but you wouldn’t know it. Very poor quality paint that doesn’t cover at all well, takes literally weeks to kind-of dry, and just looks a mess. We were faithful F&B customers (for years), but having also had huge problems with both estate and modern emulsion we are never buying it again. Total waste of time and money I’m afraid.
