Oval Room Blue

No.85

A darkened historic blue

Oval Room Blue is the most blackened of our blues, giving it a subtly aged feel. Named after the attractively shaped rooms of the late 18th century, it sits perfectly with our popular greys to create depth and balance in either a hall or a darker, cosier family room. 

Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Mid Tones

Complementary white: Shadow White

Oval Room Blue is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 231.

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 Beautiful colour I decided to try a lighter colour on my front door and decided on Oval Room Blue. I’m so pleased that I did. I used the gloss paint, although I would have preferred the eggshell but felt this wouldn’t stand up to the full sun on a south facing house. I used blackened on the windows and door frames. The quality of the paint was excellent and the colour goes beautifully with the red brick and new Willow and Stone brass door furniture. My house looks so pretty now and it’s had several compliments!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beautiful colour. Our 11 year old son chose Oval Room Blue in Modern Emulsion for his bedroom walls and we all are absolutely delighted with the colour & finish. Farrow & Ball paint has once again failed to disappoint us. All that’s left to do now is reinstate his Lego!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Delighted I took a risk and bought 7.5 litres of Oval Room Blue Modern Emulsion. I wanted to paint my hall which has 7 doors and some with glass panels on top and high ceilings (so lots of cutting in). The paint was going on top of white wall paper that had a silver shiny stripe through it. I did not undercoat or do any other prep but I am so delighted with the finish. The job is not quite finished but I am spurred on to get it complete. Lovely paint to work with fast drying, was able to paint parts and come back without worrying about any overlap marks, non drip and fast drying. Snapshot of part of the hall (1) after and (2) before. Woodwork in Wevet.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Stunning colour Absolutely love this colour everyone has complimented on it even the decorator admired it and asked what colour and where did I buy it he said he would have it in his house. Cant get any better compliment than that. Love it so much in my kitchen I’m also doing the lounge in Oval room blue as well

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Stunning Looked everywhere for the right colour. It went on so well and the coverage was superb. I have added grey/silver curtains and bedding. It is so worth the money I used eggshell which is so much better than the matt finish.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Lovely blue green This is a rich colour that is the perfect mid tone for my hall. It’s slightly more blue than I was expecting but also has green tones. This is modern emulsion which has a very slight sheen but wipes clean well. I have denimes on a wall off this room and the two colours are similar with oval room a shade lighter.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beautiful vibrant colour! After trying a couple of tester pots I chose Oval Room Blue for my bedroom. I used the suggested primer which meant I painted my whole room in two coats with paint leftover in the 5 litre tin. Really pleased with the finish.
