Off-Black - No.57

A soft black.
This soft black is one of the original Farrow & Ball colours – an uncomplicated name for a well loved classic. Off-Black is much more flattering to adjacent colours than stronger blacks because it feels so much milder in tone and has less of the underlying cool blue of Railings or Black Blue.

Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Dark Tones.

Complementary white: Dimpse.
