Stiffkey Blue No. 281

Farrow and Ball Paint- Stiffkey Blue No. 281

An inky navy

Pronounced 'stoo-key', this inky blue is named after the Norfolk beach where the mud, along with the cockles, share a particular deep navy hue. Although traditional in feel, 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 contrasted with Ammonite.

Available in our brand new Dead Flat finish for walls, woodwork and metal.

Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Dark Tones

Complementary white: Ammonite
