Wall paint - Barrow Blue No. G8

About Barrow Blue No. G8

This versatile blue-grey, reminiscent of a gardener's overalls, feels wonderfully grounded and has a similar, slightly weathered quality to the slightly lighter De Nimes and the darker Inchyra Blue.

A tone from the Farrow & Ball Archive

Barrow Blue is part of the Farrow & Ball Archive collection: no longer in the current colour card, but still available in original quality. Each tin is mixed to order. Due to the high pigmentation, the tone changes with the daylight: softer in the morning, deeper in the evening.
