Archive No.227 is a classic taupe shade that sits within Farrow & Ball's Archive Collection, described as a warmer and stronger version of Joa's White, with subtle reddish undertones. When finished in Flat Eggshell, this neutral colour is paired with a super-tough, low-sheen (20%) water-based paint, ideal for high-traffic interior wood and metal surfaces. The durable, scrubbable nature of the Flat Eggshell finish makes it an excellent choice for skirting boards, doors, and kitchen cabinets, while the warming taupe hue helps to create a rich, cosy, and timeless atmosphere, particularly in dimly lit rooms.
