A dark blue grey
This aged blue grey is inspired by the naturally dramatic Scottish skies that act as a backdrop for the classic Georgian Inchyra House. It can be found on the exterior doors of their very impressive byre or barn which nestles at the bottom of a rather grey and imposing brae (also known as a hill). Such is the magic of our colours, this moody hue can read more grey, blue or even green depending on the light. A great alternative to charcoal, use it to inject a hint of colour into a super contemporary home or create a dark and intimate feel by combining it with Black Blue or Vardo.
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

Great depthI finally settled on Inchyra blue to go on one wall and skimming stone in Sitting room which faces east.
So very happy with the result.

Great quality paint. You get what you pay forWe decided to go from white to Inchyra blue and Mansion House Grey in our hallway. Always use Farrow and Ball since discovering it years ago. It’s expensive but the quality is just fantastic, leaves a great finish. I used the undercoat too so was a huge job but we’re extremely pleased with the result.

Beautiful colour for exterior paintingI've used Farrow & Ball paint for my shops for years now and it's always money well spent. Seems no matter what I choose they always look great. The colours on the website don't always reflect reality so best to test them but regardless, they look good. Got Inchyra Blue for the outside of this shop and everyone loves it. Lots of compliments. Paint holds up well if undercoated properly.

Dynamic blue-ish greenI'm obsessed with my Inchyra Blue accent wall. I needed a wall color that would complement my apartment's contemporary features, bring depth to a wall opposite a large bank of north-facing windows, and not clash with my kitchen's brown tile backsplash. Inchyra Blue easily satisfies these requirements and manages to surprise me regularly with how it changes throughout the day in different light. My painter, skeptical of my desire to import paint from the UK without seeing it on my wall first, was impressed with how well it turned out!

Gorgeous color!My husband and I just repainted our entry and living room in Inchyra Blue and the color is gorgeous beyond words! Totally transformed our space! We used the Estate emulsion and it gives the color a softness that is so beautiful in the sunlight! Amazing paint!

Perfect AdditionI bought the Inchyra Blue for another room but decided to put it in the small half bath.
I painted all walls and ceilings and with the new flooring it gives the illusion of being bigger.
I love the color! Will put it in the hallway. Another winner with Farrow and Ball

Very poor coverage.Great colour.
Great delivery.
Paint itself not good.
We painted a feature wall which was 7.5m². Your website advises a 750ml tin will cover approx 9m². So we ordered this size, it did not cover the wall leaving a patch of approx 1m². We had to order a second tin to finish the wall. Even after two coats some areas still needed another coat to get an acceptable finish. Both tins and a tester pot have been used in their entirety so will need to get more for touch ups.

This Paint is GREEN not BLUE and I wasted £40This paint is GREEN not blue. It became slightly more blue with the application of FIVE coats - but it was still green. So I wasted almost forty pounds on a small tin and ended up having to buy ANOTHER tester for another colour and another tin of paint. The quality of the paint is fine but the description is very misleading.

Can’t touch it up later!I was very happy when I used this colour, but it’s darkened significantly over time … that’s fine, until you need to touch it up! I haven’t had this problem with any of the other F&B colours I’ve used, only this one. I’m having to repaint entire walls just because of one tiny scratch or stain or moved furniture/hanging … would not recommend.

Great colur, poor qualityWe bought this paint for a north facing snug and whilst the colour is gorgeous and we've had many compliments, the quality hasn't been great. We used the dark tones primer and modern emulsion but still had issues where touch ups (from same tin and using same materials) has resulted in smudges and marks meaning we are having to repaint a full wall. In addition, when we used tape against the door frame for when we were painting woodwork, when peeling the tape off it pulled the paint primer and everything off and went straight back to plaster! Even with polyfilla and repainting with primer and two coats you can still see it. the house is 5 years old so no issues with plaster. We have used many F&B colours in our new home and this is the only one we've had an issue with. It's also a feature colour in the kitchen and i'm too scared to do touch ups now. Sad as the colour really is stunning.

Lovely colour but F&B need to work on consistencyI bought 2 tins, one of them turned out be white so went and exchanged it. Low and behold second tin is slightly different so now need to do another full coat when I only needed to touch up a few bits. Far from ideal... Expect better for this price.
