Cook's Blue - Farrow & Ball
A vibrant blue
Cook’s Blue was inspired by the rich and poignant finish in the cook’s closet at Calke Abbey where the walls had been untouched for many decades. This bright and deeply pigmented colour is perfect for use both in kitchens and exterior eating areas, as this vibrant tone is said to deter flies! But it is perfectly at home anywhere in the house.
Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Mid Tones
Complementary White: Slipper Satin
Available in the following finishes:
