A deep dark blue
This strong blue takes its name from the fantastically coloured woodwork much used by the Dutch, and still works wonderfully to ground skirtings or as an accent colour on the walls when teamed with Borrowed Light. The green undertones of this timeless, deep and dramatic blue means it sits as happily outside as it does in small dark rooms.
We’re dedicated to perfecting the art of paint. At our home in Dorset, we combine the finest ingredients, 75 years of experience and technical precision to help you create beautiful spaces that stay beautiful. Even in our colour rich paints, less than 8% of the tin is the colour. The other 92% is what creates the quality, depth and extraordinary response to light that transforms your home.
Paint is like coffee. The colour is the froth on the top, but it’s the quality of the rest of the cup that makes it taste good. – Richard Ball, Farrow & Ball Co-founder
We use twelve exclusive pigments, all specifically selected for their colour intensity. We take colour seriously, so naturally, we only accept the very best. By using these same pigments to make every colour in our palette, all our shades combine effortlessly, making it easy for you to put together a cohesive colour scheme.
Deeper, richer colours
Deeper, richer colours
Packed with pigment for an extraordinary response to every kind of light.
We add generous helpings of rich pigment to create our signature look – deep colours with complex undertones. The same space that feels bright and airy in morning sun, can feel cosy and intimate by evening. Our teams design each shade under every kind of light, so it will be perfectly balanced in every setting.
Extraordinary response to light
Extraordinary response to light
We spend months carefully crafting and testing each of our paint colours to make sure they share our signature extraordinary response to light. This beautiful reaction to changing light, like bringing out different undertones or shifting intensity, is what makes our paint so special.
Interior and exterior finishes

Our comprehensive range is comprised of paint finishes that not only look beautiful, but offer different practical benefits.

Do not recommendI just finished painting an office room and shelving unit in dead flat Hague blue. The reasonably delicate act of adding a book to the shelf completely lifted the paint. For that reason I consider this a completely unusable and overpriced product, and will no longer be a customer.

Worst paint everPossibly the worst paint I’ve ever used, painted some bespoke wardrobes with this and it took over three weeks to dry!!! It was still so tacky after two weeks that when I turned the doors over painted ripped off and finger marks were all over any part that I touch. Beyond dissatisfied it’s ended up costing me over £1000 to and that’s not counting the hours and hours I’ve wasted painting and repainting! So upset.

Much lighter shade than expectedIm so sad the real paint is much lighter! Does everyone in the paint world know that the real paint will be much lighter than the paint can? I wanted this shade so bad but it was not the color i expected. I was torn between this and railings and i chose the wrong one lol. Hopefully railings will be lighter than expected too and give me the exact shade ive been after.

Amazing colour but no good in dead flatI painted my chimney breast in dead flat Hague blue and it is very glossy and a less subtle colour than the other wall painted in estate emulsion. Have now painted it over in estate. Why call a paint dead flat if it is glossy?

Why do you sell this colour in Modern Emulsion????Wish I had read some of these reviews before painting this colour in modern emulsion. This is the state after 2 coats. It is listed as matt but is anything but matt - it actually looks like an eggshell... (yes I have checked the tin and it says modern emulsion).

Dead Flat - Not worth the moneyI was expecting big things regarding the Dead Flat range as we've used F&B Estate paints for years and really liked them. Really disapointed with the quality, you need at lease 3 / 4 coates and it marks really easy. The reason we chose Dead Flat was for its durability and hard wearing, should of just used the standered cheaper version.

Will it ever cure?Paint it still tacky days after 2nd thin coat of paint. As advised, I used modern eggshell for my wooden cabinet doors. After a few days everything still sticks to it: fingerprints, fluff, cardboard. It’s impossible to paint both sides because resting it anywhere will leave a mark on the other side.

Beautiful colour BUT easily chipsI'm so disappointed by the quality of the paint. Don't get me wrong: the colour is gorgeous! However, it chips very easily, and we needed 3-4 coats to cover the walls. The slightest touch will leave a streak or chip. No joke, I put my hand on it the other day and it left a mark.
At this point, I don't know whether to go around fixing every chip or mark or to cut losses and buy a new brand of paint. For the exorbitant price, you'd think F&B paint would be exceptional quality but no.

Total catastrophe - would never use againWe painted three walls of a room with Hague Blue - the estate finish. Before we had finished the room, I had to repaint one of the walls. You cannot touch the wall at all once it is painted. Not with a hand, not with a microfibre cloth, not with a piece of furniture. It looks great when new but is a total catastrophe. I estimate it will last 6 months before we have to repaint the entire room.
It is a premium product with zero durability. We are really upset with the product.
Back in 2010, we moved to an entirely water based range of finishes, becoming the first in the industry to do so. These low-odour, low-VOC finishes are easy to clean without harmful solvents. They are also certified child- and baby-safe in accordance with Safety of Toys Part 3: Migration of certain elements (EN 71-3:2019+A1:2021).
Exclusions: Casein Distemper, Wood Primer & Undercoat and Metal Primer & Undercoat.
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.
