6 ways to decorate with Farrow & Ball Down Pipe, a dramatic black paint

Farrow & Ball Downpipe.

Farrow & Ball's Down Pipe might be dramatic, but it's becoming a classic paint and is one of the brand's best sellers.  Described as a 'dark lead grey' it has blue undertones which makes it such a special color to use. As a result, this means it looks fabulous with most colors. Patrick O'Donnell, brand ambassador at Farrow & Ball explains:

'Downpipe is a versatile grey and pairs with many colors from soft muted pinks such as Setting Plaster and ochre yellows like India Yellow but sits perfectly with muted neutrals that have underlying green notes.' It leans into a lot of color trends for 2024 too as we move away from light neutrals, towards bolder, moodier shades.
