Stiffkey Blue

No.281

An inky navy

This inky blue is named after the Norfolk beach where the mud, along with the cockles, share a particular deep navy hue. Although traditional in feel, Stiffkey Blue is often used as an alternative to Down Pipe to create a richly dramatic space with a more contemporary finish. When used in well lit areas of the home it will appear much bluer, working wonderfully when contrasted with Ammonite. 

Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Dark Tones

Complementary white: Shadow White

Stiffkey Blue is rated 4.5 out of 5 by 399.

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 lovely blue I bought the Stifkey blue to paint an old bokkcase that I wanted to renovate and us to match some blue wooden office furniture. The match was very close. I then pinted a little chest containing 3 baskets to provide further storage. I am very pleased with my efforts. The coverage (2 coats) was excellent over the original black and white items.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beautiful colour, Great finish I decided to use this to bring back life to an old stone coloured dresser. It now looks amazing, such a great colour. I get so many compliments and people asking what colour it is.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great depth of coloyr First time I have used F&B paint and I love it! Used the primer which made the paint go on so smoothly and easily. 2 coats and the Stiffkey Blue is a gorgeous flat matt. Just the look I wanted to update our lounge.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Stiffkey blue feature colour I bought stiffkey blue to help refresh my downstairs. Did a stiffkey blue feature wall and up-cycled a bland white table to pull the colour into the dining room too. Colour is absolutely rocking. Matched with ammonite grey

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Colour is amazing Wanted to brighten up our kitchen with a feature wall and F&B Stiffkey Blue sure did that. Paint went on smoothly and has a great finish. Very impressed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Covers well even straight onto varnished wood Looks great next to the emulsion of the same colour (in my opinion!). Adhesion was fab even when painted directly onto fairly high gloss surfaces including varnish. I couldn’t face the mess of sanding so took a chance and paint was great.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Pergola revival I wanted some good quality paint suitable for wood outside. It needed to be right as the job was a big one and I didn’t want to be doing it again! after reading about Farrow & Ball I decided to give it a go!! Have to say I’m delighted. It was everything I needed it to be. Lovely colour, good coverage and easy to apply.
