Pitch Blue

No.220

A lively cobalt blue

This strong cobalt blue, with its dose of black pigment, takes its name from the dark sticky tar often used in roofing. Pitch Blue has an almost purple feel to it and is extremely lively in south facing rooms, especially when contrasted with bright shades such as All White. However, it looks more sober and rich when used in areas deprived of light or those lit in the evening by candles. 

Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Dark Tones

Complementary white: Blackened

Pitch Blue is rated 4.5 out of 5 by 106.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Pitch blue - perfect! We decided on Pitch Blue for our north-facing downstairs WC/cloakroom. Absolutely delighted with the result. Emulsion on the walls and satin on the boot cupboard door. The result is sophisticated, cosy, unique, quirky and homely. Love it!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Deep rich, beautiful cover I was nervous of taking the plunge with my living room in pitch blue- but I wasn’t disappointed- the colour is gorgeous in any light and covers like a dream!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Top quality paint I used the emulsion on the toilet walls. It was to cover another dark colour which it did easily in one coat although I added a second coat to get the best result. The slight sheen provided an excellent wipe clean finish. The only disappointment was that the minimum amount I could purchase was 2.5 litres which means I have at least 3 quarters of the product left - a really unnecessary cost therefore incurred.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Lovely vibrant blue Really rich vibrant blue colour, easy to apply and great coverage. Worth the money. Looks great alongside wooden floors and white mantelpiece.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Lovely colour, easy to apply! I didn't order a sample of the Pitch Blue modern eggshell, the colour looked like it matched the fabric of the blinds in the bathroom from the colour card, so I just went for it! I used it to paint the outside of my free-standing bath. I applied it with a roller, cutting in with a small brush. It took three coats, as it had previously been painted in Dix Blue and I wanted to get a good solid coating and with the surface not being totally flat needed to make sure that I hadn't missed any bits. The paint was lovely to use. Easy to clean off my equipment. The colour is lovely. It has quite an indigo/denim/purple hue to it. My blinds have various blue colours so it tones really well. Just need to find some towels the same colour to pull the whole scheme together. (Bathroom walls are painted London Stone to match the stone pebbles in the shower and the ceiling is Pointing)

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worth the money This is the colour we chose after buying a number of test pots. It is wise to paint a large sheet of paper and move it around the room as we found what looked good on one wall was awful on another. Paint has a really good depth of coverage

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great colour!!! Excellent service from Farrow and Ball during these trying times. Our order was with us within 48 hours, and the paint itself was easy to use and looks great. I recommend Pitch Blue without hesitation!
