Where to use Farrow & Ball Inchyra Blue No.289

Farrow & Ball suggest Inchyra Blue as a great alternative to charcoal, adding a hint of colour to a very contemporary home. For a dark and intimate feel, they recommend combining it with Black Blue or Vardo.

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.
