Farrow & Ball Drawing Room Blue No. 253 is a part of the archived collection.
This rich blue is less purple than Pitch Blue and livelier than navy Stiffkey Blue. Inspired by the formal rooms to which ladies would traditionally retire after dinner, Drawing Room Blue has a clean, graphic feel that works particularly well alongside Pitch Black and Incarnadine. When contrasted with All White on woodwork, it gains a regal edge, looking deeper and more intense.
Archived colors can still be mixed in-store; however, sample pots are discontinued, and are only available while supplies last.
Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Dark Tones
Complementary white: Blackened
