Beetle Black No. G16 is a rich, chic, and understated deep grey from the Farrow & Ball Archive, taking its name from the distinctive, dark sheen of a beetle's wing casing. It is not a pure black, but a sophisticated charcoal shade that has a softer, more complex feel, making it an excellent choice for creating intimate and dramatic spaces. When specified in the durable Flat Eggshell finish, the paint offers a contemporary low sheen (20%) that is super-tough, scrubbable, and highly resistant to stains and scuffs. This water-based formulation is perfect for high-traffic interior wood, metal, and concrete surfaces, including kitchen cabinets, skirting boards, and floors, where it provides a beautiful and long-lasting classic look.
