Skylight

No.205

A pale and traditional blue

This pale blue grey takes its name from the soft natural light that often pours through ceiling skylights. However, it is less reflective than Borrowed Light, reading as a definite cool blue when used in small spaces but becoming paler and greyer when used in larger areas. 

Recommended Primer & Undercoat: White & Light Tones

Complementary white: All White

Skylight is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 83.

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 Great Product - Great Customer Service Over the years I’ve used Farrow and Ball paint many many times. A few years ago, I was lured away by some alternative paint companies but haven’t always been 100% happy with the final results. I decided to return to Farrow and Ball as I really love the colours available and the final results. I realise it might mean painting an extra coat, as the paint seems a little “thinner” than some I’ve used, but I’ve come to realise that the layers of paint add to the depth of colour on the walls and ceilings. The final results are beautiful and like many things the effort and time taken gives it rewards. At the moment, I’m really taken with “Skylight” I’ve used it on the ceiling and top half of the walls in my sewing/craft room and again in my sitting room which isn’t quite finished yet. I’m back to loving my rooms again! Also despite our present situation with COVID-19 the paint arrived much quicker than expected - thank you.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beautiful paint I love Farrow and Ball paint for the simply beautiful colours. You can go and get one matched by another brand - but they are not the same. There is something very special about the way light plays with their beautiful colours. And l absolutely love the fact that they don’t produce a bad colour. You could be blindfolded and stick a pin in the shade card and never be disappointed with the colour you ended up with.
