Richer colour
Farrow & Ball Primers & Undercoats are available in up to four tones:
White & Light Tones, Mid Tones, Red & Warm Tones, and Dark Tones.




Each one is made with a careful balance of pigments, and between them they bring out the best in our entire palette of colours, adding richness and depth for that signature Farrow & Ball look.
A rust inhibiting primer for all bare ferrous metal surfaces, our Metal Primer & Undercoat is designed to create a smooth foundation on gates, railings, furniture, radiators and metal downpipes before using Modern Eggshell, Exterior Eggshell, Flat Eggshell, Full Gloss or Dead Flat.
Wall & Ceiling Primer & Undercoat is designed for use under Dead Flat, Estate Emulsion and Modern Emulsion. Made with the same quality ingredients and pigments as our topcoats, this undercoat is the crucial foundation for creating a rich, even and longer lasting finish.
Now available in 750ml
