Down Pipe No. 26 by Farrow & Ball is a dark lead grey with definite blue undertones that add depth and complexity. Inspired by the classic colour used on downpipes and guttering, it’s been embraced indoors for its bold, design-forward drama.
This daringly dark shade is a fabulous background for artwork and creates an instantly striking mood. It’s especially effective in halls and entryways where you want a deeply dramatic first impression, but it also works beautifully on feature walls, cabinetry, and modern living spaces that can handle a strong, architectural grey.
Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Dark Tones.
Complementary white: Blackened.
