A vivid blue
This clean and vivid blue is inspired by a colour originally found in the hall at 17th century St Giles House in Wimborne St Giles, Dorset. Its striking blue hue cannot fail to make you smile and will hold its own even in the darkest of places, so is often used as an accent in the back of bookshelves.
Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Mid Tones

This colour makes for an excellent accent wall.
I painted this colour on one wall of my sons west facing room. The other walls we opted to paint in Dimpse which is the perfect grey. The two complment one another beautifully and St. Giles Blue really is quite stricking and adds pop. I myself would not be able to handle this colour in my bedroom however for a 4 1/2 year old it's perfect. I do think it would make a wonderful shade for a gallery, living room or even halls if you are gutsy, something a bit more formal. Our halls are done in Arsnic another fab colour. I will continue to purchase F&B products as I feel they are superior.

Beautiful on floors
We just bought a Georgian townhouse and on moving day we discovered to our dismay it had the most awful dirty carpets which were beyond cleaning. Ripped them up to reveal the original floorboards, dirty but in good condition. Ordered paint on Tuesday and it arrived on Friday. We picked St Giles Blue for our son's room. Gave them a quick going over with a hand sander and three coats of St Giles Blue and 24 hours later it was completely transformed. It is so soft, bright and beautiful. Every cloud has a St Giles Blue lining!
