Farrow & Ball Railings (No. 31)

Not quite black, not quite navy — Railings is the dark neutral that designers use when they want drama without the cave-like flatness of pure black. In daylight, it reads as a very deep blue-black. In evening light, it's almost pure black. This chameleon quality makes it the most versatile dark paint on the market. It's named after the ironwork railings outside Georgian townhouses and looks exceptional on front doors, kitchen islands, built-in cabinetry, and accent walls.
