Tester

Tester for bedroom. Lovely colour but not the one I then used.

Why use any other make of paint

Cord is a beautifully warm colour in our hall stairs and landing. Used with matchstick on ceiling and white tie on woodwork as recommended on your web site. Just perfect I love it.

Great paint; terrible service

Always the best paint, but sadly we were badly let down by Farrow and Ball this time having paid for next day delivery. 10 days later we are still awaiting our paint and communication from those we have tried to contact about this has been very poor indeed.

Timeless colour

I painted the renovated kitchen of our 155 year old house with Cord 17 years ago and every time of think of changing it I can never find any colour I love better! I paired it with White Tie. It's a dead on match with our natural cherry cabinets that have deepened in rich colour over the years.

Favourite colour

Lovely colour have had this on my hall snd landing for over 10 years ,just neede freshning up

One of the very best

One of my favourite ever F&B colours. We've just painted our whole cottage in this with Matchstick on the ceilings and coving and Green Smoke on the woodwork. Before, the whole thing was ghastly brilliant white. Now it's transformed into a warm, welcoming and stylish home. For those who fear it may be too dark - don't be afraid! It is fabulous!

Disappointed

A good quality paint which will last 15 years on the walls it was enough for. Unfortunately the company were unable to supply me with a single litre pot of paint which would have finished the job.
