Farrow & Ball Paint



I love the palette and quality of Farrow & Ball paint and I've been considering the exterior paint for my vintage caravan project.


Farrow & Ball's 'Old White' is an old favourite of mine. I have a large bookcase painted in the aged grey/green white and it looks lovely.

Choosing exterior paint can be tricky. I've purchased quite a few sample pots and at £3.99 a pot it can end up being quite costly.

My favourite Farrow & Ball exterior paint that I have used to date is Lichen - it's a very soft green with a grey tone and perhaps a popular colour amongst the traditional Cotswold Stone houses.


The vintage caravan was originally painted in two colours - Beige top and bottom and a green stripe running through the centre. Although I like to be sympathetic to the age and character of the caravan I  don't necessarily want to paint it in this way and I'm hoping a block of colour will work.

Farrow & Ball's Blue Gray is a favourite as is Light Blue. French Gray and Mizzle have caught my eye. Pigeon looks fantastic.

What colour does a girl choose? Damn you Farrow & Ball - I want them all!
