Cook's Blue

No.237

A vibrant blue

Cook’s Blue was inspired by the rich and poignant finish in the cook’s closet at Calke Abbey where the walls had been untouched for many decades. This bright and deeply pigmented colour is perfect for use both in kitchens and exterior eating areas, as this vibrant tone is said to deter flies! But it is perfectly at home anywhere in the house. 

Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Mid Tones

Complementary white: All White

Cook's Blue is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 58.

ECO-FRIENDLY AND CHILD-SAFE

Back in 2010, we moved our entire range to an eco-friendly water base that’s low odour, low VOC and child-safe, becoming the first in the industry to do so. 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.


QUALITY FINISHES

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. For the very best results, we always recommend using a Farrow & Ball Primer & Undercoat – see above for the correct tone for this colour.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A little goes a long way I ordered Cook’s Blue in exterior eggshell. Although it’s too wet to get out and do the window frames and door, I have been sidetracked into doing a small shelf renovation. It’s so easy to apply and the finish is flawless and I’m just an amateur. Looking forward to sprucing up the exterior when the weather permits. Love the colour it’s a real joy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Cook’s Blue This paint was a hot to use in terms of coverage and handling. The blue is vivid, yet soft and my old dresser looks beautiful. The colour goes well with any white and would also look super with yellow. One smallish tim did the entire dresser. It didn’t require undercoating because it had an old chalky white underneath which seemed fine. Love estate eggshell from Farrow and Ball!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My kind of blue I bought this to make over a bedroom along with 2 others blue shades. I love Cooks Blue for its depth of colour in situ. Having 3 windows in the room means I can go with a deeper shade than I would do normally. Normally considered a cold colour, this isn't!
