Farrow & Ball 750ml Full Gloss Drop Cloth No.283

Drop Cloth is a mid grey beige – or 'greige' – that pays homage to our expert painters and decorators. It takes its name from the indispensable dust sheet, and is just as useful, creating the perfect neutral base for lighter tones like Shaded White and Shadow White.
