This classic dark taupe was inspired by the cottages found in the pretty Cotswold villages of Oxfordshire. It is the darkest of our Warm Neutrals and sits contentedly with both Joa’s White and Dimity for a pared down neutral scheme. Brimming with warmth and an unmatchable depth, the subtle richness of Oxford Stone creates an earthy and uplifting finish from top to bottom, sweeping across woodwork and walls. The Farrow & Ball Estate Emulsion Paint is a classic paint choice for walls and ceilings in low-traffic areas. Its matte, chalky finish beautifully hides minor imperfections and creates a rich, deep colour. This distinctive finish scatters light, making the colours appear deeper and more vibrant. The paint is water-based with low VOCs, meaning it has very little odour, making it a healthier choice for your home. Shade: Oxford Stone. Size: 5L.
