Dinnerware No. 9820 is an archival Farrow & Ball colour, described as a clean, lively blue that is evocative of the intricate blue patterns found on 18th-century chinaware. This vibrant shade, which is slightly livelier than Drawing Room Blue, is typically mixed to order. The Flat Eggshell finish (often a new, highly durable formulation with a 20% sheen) is a water-based, super-tough option designed for interior wood, metal, and concrete. It is scrubbable, stain-resistant, and scuff-proof, making it an ideal and long-lasting choice for high-traffic surfaces like kitchen cabinets, doors, skirting boards, and even floors.
