Hopper Head No. 305 by Farrow & Ball is a classic charcoal sitting between the ever-popular Railings and Down Pipe. Inspired by the attractively designed iron containers used to catch rainwater at the top of a downpipe, it has an architectural, heritage feel that still looks crisp and modern.
Hopper Head is ideal for creating inviting spaces and works beautifully with nearly any Farrow & Ball shade. For maximum drama, use it across walls, woodwork, and even the ceiling to create a cocooning, high-impact room with a cohesive charcoal finish.
Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Dark Tones.
Complementary white: Blackened.
