Farrow & Ball 750ml Exterior Eggshell St Giles's Blue No.280

St Giles Blue is one of Farrow & Ball's most intense blues, and an enduring favourite in the company's palette. It was originally found at the 17th-century St Giles House, near to Farrow & Ball's home in Dorset, but is just as suited to modern homes, where it is a cheerful presence in any room.
