The age-old paint color question: Should I paint my walls a light neutral or something with more saturation and mood? While more color and boldness may be daunting at first, my opinion is that it always pays off in the end. A home office painted in a dark navy? Dark academia is suddenly the aesthetic. A dining room that pairs a deep gray with warm wood? Nothing is more elegant.
The moral of the story is: when you're looking to create a timeless and elegant atmosphere, don't settle for a millennial gray or stock black — a more interesting counterpart will always do more for your space. Farrow & Ball's Railings is among the best paint colors to pursue. In some lights, it could be mistaken for a dark gray, but don't be fooled, Railings is much more nuanced than that. Hailed as one of Farrow and Ball's most popular paint colors, Railings comes across as a rich charcoal color with undertones of muted blue making it appear almost navy in some lights.
