De Nimes

No.299

A down to earth and grounding blue


This quietly elegant blue feels wonderfully down to earth, so could be used on anything from a kitchen island to an airy drawing room. The exact shade is rooted in a regency palette but is inspired by the cloth of everyday workwear made in the French city Nîmes. Like denim, its blue hue is ultimately fashionable and yet always feels grounded.

Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Dark Tones

Complementary white: Shaded White

De Nimes is rated 4.5 out of 5 by 230.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Classy Colour! I've just completed the redecorating of my dining room. I put De Nimes on the walls and School House White on all the skirting and door. I don't trust myself to match colours so I took one of the suggestions for colour matching from F&B and it looks amazing. The colour is really classy and just looks quality. I got 2 coats all over on the walls from a 2.5L tin so the coverage was excellent. All in all 10/10.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love the colour ! After sample pots of Stiffkey blue , stone blue and De nimes for our woodwork, we chose De Nimes and are so pleased! We paired it with borrowed light on the walls ! We also used the mid - tones primer and were very pleased with how easy this made the De Nimes go on !

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Such a classy colour As with most paint samples I purchase from F&B it takes me a good few tester pots to finally decide on what colour I am gonna go for and finally after much deliberation I decided on De Nimes for my guest bedroom as had stiffkey blue in my primary bedroom and didn't want to much of the same thing in My bedrooms... My decorator painted the guest bedroom for me and it took just under 5 litres to complete the room to a high standard and with F&B paint, it is all about them extra coats if you want to get that richness of tone out of the paint and this is why I pay people to paint for me as I would not have the patience.. I use F&B paint at all times in all rooms of my home as I just find the quality and end results always impressive. I highly recommend this colour for pretty much any room in your home depending on your tastes.
