This modest grey green is named after West Country evening skies when there is a mix of both mist and drizzle. The addition of green pigment diminishes any cool blue tones, creating a lighter shade of Pigeon and Blue Gray. Rooms feel soft and contented when painted in this rather indeterminate colour.Â

From walls, floors and furniture to radiators, skirtings and sheds, Farrow & Ball's range of paint finishes can help you transform almost any surface in your home (and outside it, too). They even have multi-surface finishes like Dead Flat, so you can tackle walls, woodwork and metal at the same time.
All Farrow & Ball paints, from their matt emulsions to their brilliant gloss, are made with a 100% water base. That means they’re safer, faster-drying, lower in odour and VOCs, and better for the world we share, with absolutely no compromise on colour or performance.
Please see the features and specifications below to help you choose the best finish for your needs.

CLEAN UP + STORAGE:Â Wash paint brushes and rollers in warm soapy water and let them fully air dry before storing.
After your project has finished, you can keep leftover paint in top condition ready for any touch-ups by ensuring the lid is on securely and tightly. We also recommend turning the container upside down for a few seconds to stop a skin forming on the paint before storing in an upright position. Keep in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from fluctuating temperatures and frost, to keep them at their best and avoid waste.Â
END OF LIFE:Â If you have leftover paint that you are unable to use or store properly, your local household waste recycling centre may have a paint donation point.
Do not empty paint contents into drains or watercourses. Dispose of any remaining paint at local waste disposal site in accordance with local/national regulations. Empty metal containers may be recycled.
