Product Description

Farrow & Ball Hague Blue No.30 is a deep, dark blue named after the richly coloured woodwork the Dutch used so widely. Farrow & Ball note its green undertones, which let this timeless, dramatic shade sit as comfortably outside as it does in small, dark rooms.

Farrow & Ball pair Hague Blue with Wevet as its complementary white. Their suggested schemes combine it with Parma Gray and Lulworth Blue, or with Skylight and Borrowed Light.

Is Hague Blue warm or cool?

Farrow & Ball describe Hague Blue as a deep dark blue with green undertones. Those green undertones are what they say allow it to sit as happily outside as in small, dark rooms.

Where to use Farrow & Ball Hague Blue No.30

Farrow & Ball suggest Hague Blue to ground skirtings, or as an accent colour on walls teamed with Borrowed Light. They also say it works outside as well as in small, dark rooms.

Choose Estate Emulsion or Modern Emulsion for walls and ceilings, Dead Flat for a completely flat look across walls and woodwork, and Flat Eggshell, Modern Eggshell or Full Gloss for woodwork and cabinets. For exteriors, choose Exterior Masonry or Exterior Eggshell for breathable, weather-resistant performance. Casein Distemper is also available in this colour.
