Product information
Farrow & Ball Railings Flat Eggshell is a super-tough, low sheen finish, ideal for adding colour and protection to wood, metal, and concrete surfaces. This ultra-durable eggshell is tough enough for floors, and it can also be used throughout the home on skirting, doors, kitchen cabinets, furniture, and radiators. Railings is a blue-based shade of black, appearing more blue or more discernibly black depending on the light. It's a great favourite for kitchen cabinets, to which it brings a very modern feel, as well as for walls in smaller rooms whose owners are looking for a bold and sophisticated statement shade.
- Suitable for Metal & wood
- Surface Preparation - All surfaces to be painted must be sound, clean, dry and well prepared. The recommended Farrow & Ball Primer & Undercoat should be used before the topcoat is applied.

Excellent choice!
Farrow & Ball’s Railings No. 31 is an excellent choice if you want a rich, sophisticated dark tone that feels softer and more nuanced than pure black. The colour itself reads as a deep black with subtle blue undertones, which gives it depth and character under different lighting conditions. It works beautifully on both interior and exterior surfaces, especially ironwork, doors and cabinets. The quality of the paint is high, with good coverage and durability, and it comes in a variety of finishes, from matt to full gloss, so you can tailor the look to suit your project. Overall, Railings No. 31 delivers a dramatic yet refined finish that stands out without feeling harsh.
