This aged blue grey, can read more grey, blue or even green depending on the light. A great alternative to charcoal, use it to inject a hint of colour into a super contemporary home, or create a moody feel by combining it with Black Blue or Vardo. This colour was first used at the classic Georgian Inchyra House (see House & Garden's story here) to work with moody Scottish skies.
Joa:
Inchyra Blue was originally created as a colour for use on the doors of a historic house in Scotland, but is perfect for use on the exteriors of buildings of any date and in any part of the world. The brave might also use it in porches or lobbies to create some drama on entrance to the house.
Charlotte:
Down Pipe is one of our most enduringly popular colours, but as the trend for grey starts to shift to tones with a touch more colour in them, Inchyra Blue would be a great refresher. It still has the depth and strength of Down Pipe but with a touch more colour, making a space feel more alive. Inchyra Blue is the colour missing between Down Pipe and Stiffkey Blue. Its steely tones sometimes read blue and other times grey or green, depending on the light. It would also look great in a study as a back drop for a collection of books.
How to use it...
1.
Joa:
Inchyra Blue is so difficult to put in a box, but it looks fabulous with just about every Farrow & Ball colour. It looks particularly spectacular when contrasted with Down Pipe and Light Blue - colours that sit naturally together in nature so always work well in the home as well.

As I mentioned previously, I love Vardo with Inchyra Blue, but for something more elegant and conservative I would use it with Shaded White.
