Railings is a blue-based shade of black, appearing more blue or more discernibly black depending on the light. It's a great favourite for kitchen cabinets, to which it brings a very modern feel, as well as for walls in smaller rooms whose owners are looking for a bold and sophisticated statement shade. -
Purbeck Stone takes its name and colour from the Isle of Purbeck, near Farrow & Ball's home on the south coast of England. Part of the Easy Neutrals group, it's not too warm and not too cool, making it incredibly easy to pair with many shades from the Farrow & Ball palette, but particularly with Cornforth White, Wevet or Ammonite. -
Pointing is a pale yet warm white from the Farrow & Ball Red Based Neutrals group, named after the mortar used in traditional brickwork. It makes a sympathetic addition to any scheme that uses strong, traditional colours, where a bright white might feel too high-contrast. -
Preference Red is a traditional-feeling deep red with a nod to Farrow & Ball's past as a purveyor of 'Preference Paints'. For a more classic feel, try it with any of the Farrow & Ball Red Based Neutrals such as Dimity or Pointing or go bold by pairing it with Paean Black. -
Plummett is a deep, true grey that creates a modern architectural feel when used on woodwork. It works brilliantly as an addition to an industrial-style scheme, where its strong tones can really hold their own. -
Pitch Black is exactly what its name suggests a pure, strong, uncomplicated shade of black. A classic and versatile favourite for metalwork and woodwork, it also makes a brilliant statement wall shade for a small space, particularly in Farrow & Ball Estate Emulsion, which gives it an almost velvety look. -
Like Yellow Ground and Blue Ground, this soft and dusty pink was originally used as a background colour for Farrow & Ball wallpapers, until by popular demand it became a paint colour in its own right. It is light and delicate yet loaded with warmth thanks to a generous amount of yellow pigment. -
Pigeon is a deep yet soft blue-grey shade inspired by what else? the head and neck plumage of the humble pigeon. It's the ideal alternative to a truer grey such as Mole's Breath in spaces where a little more softness or warmth is needed, and it looks fantastic paired with pale grey Dimpse. -
The space from which this rich red takes its name is the impressive gallery at Attingham Park, a country house estate in the English county of Shropshire. Picture Gallery Red has a great deal of brown pigment to it, creating a depth and warmth that serves as the perfect backdrop to your favourite artworks. -
Peignoir is a soft pink with a generous dose of grey, making it a sophisticated option for any room of the home. Due to its grey undertones, it works particularly well in a scheme alongside the Farrow & Ball Contemporary Neutrals. -
Pavilion Gray is a mid-grey tone with subtle blue undertones. It feels particularly at home in contemporary spaces, where it creates a feeling of airiness and spaciousness. Try it with any combination of Manor House Gray, Dimpse or Blackened for a simple scheme. -
Parma Gray is in fact a cool blue with a distinct period feel. Paired with a bright white on woodwork, it can feel very traditional. With darker accents of navy Stiffkey Blue, however, it takes on a more contemporary look. -
Pale Powder is a pale aqua colour, developed as a lighter version of Farrow & Ball Archive colour Powder Blue. With its underlying hint of green pigment, it never feels cold, despite having the tendency to appear almost grey in north-facing rooms. -
Paean Black is a red-based shade of black, making it the perfect woodwork colour or accent for lighter shades of red. It brings an elegant feel to interior and exterior features alike. -
Oxford Stone is a deeper shade of taupe belonging to the Farrow & Ball Red Based Neutrals. The darkest in the group, it sits contentedly alongside the lighter Dimity and Joa's White for an all-neutral look with a tangible warmth. -
Oval Room Blue is the most "blackened" of Farrow & Ball blues, containing a generous amount of the black pigment that gives many Farrow & Ball colours their earthy, lived-in feel. It sits beautifully in a scheme alongside greys, creating rooms of depth and balance. -
Old White, quite simply, is the most historic of Farrow & Ball whites. It's part of the Traditional Neutrals group Lime White, Off-White, Old White and Slipper Satin the shades of which all share a subtle green undertone. This tone is particularly prominent in north-facing rooms, but is downplayed in well-lit spaces, making Old White appear as more of a grey. -
Off-White first appeared in the original palette of Farrow & Ball colours, making it a true classic. It still earns its keep in the palette today as part of the Traditional Neutrals group, alongside Old White, Slipper Satin and Lime White, which share its alluring green undertone. -
Off-Black is quite simply what it says: a softer alternative to a true, pitch black for front doors, woodwork, and for the daring the walls of any small space crying out for a bit of character. -
Nancy's Blushes takes its inspiration from a rosy-cheeked little girl named Nancy. Cheerful and uplifting, it nevertheless feels sophisticated when used alongside a soft neutral in a low-lit room. For a more impactful look, try it with the graphic St Giles Blue. -
With a less aged feel than more traditional Farrow & Ball neutrals, such as Lime White, New White creates fresh and warm interiors. It works wonders alongside its fellow Yellow Based Neutrals, Matchstick and String, especially in a country kitchen. -
Mizzle is a West Country dialect word for a mix of mist and drizzle. This evocative tone is a light and misty green-grey tone, without any coolness from blue undertones. Try it with the stronger Pigeon on trim for a cohesive look. -
Mole's Breath is a strong grey that makes a very versatile accent for other Farrow & Ball greys, whether an Easy Neutral like Wevet or a Contemporary Neutral like Strong White. Used on walls in a smaller room, it feels daring yet comforting. Or, try it on a kitchen island to make a statement against lighter grey cabinets. -
Mouse's Back is a soft, quiet grey-brown inspired by the colour of the beloved British fieldmouse. It has a little green to it, which is especially prominent in rooms without much natural light, and works beautifully alongside other green-toned neutrals such as Lime White. -
Matchstick is a simple tone with a simple source of inspiration the humble kitchen match. The colour of unbleached wood, it's warm but not overly creamy, creating a fresh feel in rooms that receive a lot of natural light. Try it in a scheme with lighter yellow-based neutrals New White and White Tie.
