Farrow & Ball's Stiffkey Blue takes its name from a coastal English village in North Norfolk, where its marshy beaches are threaded with deep blue sea. A navy blue with a touch of inkiness, Stiffkey Blue might have nautical roots, but it's long been loved for its rich, deeply comforting qualities, able to blend into both traditional and modern settings.
A not-quite navy woven with brighter undertones, Stiffkey Blue comes up time and time again in designers' picks of the best dark blue paints, loved for its enduringly sophisticated feel and versatility.
