Wall paint - Black Blue No. 95

About Black Blue No. 95

Black Blue owes its name to the two key pigments from which it is made. In large rooms, the dark color appears bluer, especially in the high-gloss Full Gloss finish. In small rooms or when combined with white, it appears almost black.

A shade from the Farrow & Ball Archive

Black Blue is part of the Farrow & Ball Archive collection: no longer in the current color card, but still available in its 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.
