Today on the blog we’re sharing five things to know about our favorite paint company, Farrow & Ball.

Made in England

Farrow & Ball is born and bred in Dorset, England. They’ve resided there since John Farrow and fellow paint pioneer Richard Ball founded the company in 1946. Their passion for making paint to original formulations, using only the finest ingredients and age-old methods, is matched by their craftsmen today.

Curated Colors

Each of their 132 colors has been created with care and thought to ensure they work beautifully both alone and as part of a scheme.

Each color has a story or meaning which is reflected in the name of the color. They take inspiration from nature, inspiring people, the Dorset dialect, and even historic houses.

Sustainability

Farrow & Ball’s water-based paints are a luxurious and environmentally conscious choice. They are low odour, eco-friendly and low in Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCS).

The most commonly used finishes (Estate Emulsion, Modern Emulsion, Estate Eggshell, Modern Eggshell, Full Gloss, Exterior Eggshell and Exterior Masonry) are vegan friendly and do not contain animal-derived ingredients.
