Farrow&Ball Stiffkey Blue Paint No. 281

An inky navy.
This paint blue is named after the Norfolk beach where the mud, along with the cockles, share a particular deep marine hue. Although traditional, 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 compared to Ammonite.

Recommended primer: Dark Tones

Complementary White: Shadow White
