Farrow & Ball 750ml Exterior Eggshell Vardo No.288

Vardo takes its name from the ornate horse-drawn wagons once commonly used by Romanichal Travellers across Britain, which often used vibrant tones such as this rich teal in their decoration. Make it the star of any scheme by teaming with subtle pale greys such as Ammonite or Strong White.
