51 The colour scheme throughout the property varies yet flows wonderfully. In the media room, for example, we chose a dusty green/blue from Farrow & Ball called ‘Down Pipe’. This is one of our favourite darker colours as it adds such a richness and also takes on a different character throughout the day as the light lands on it. We used Slate III from Paint & Paper Library in the entrance hall. This is one of our go to neutral colours. The Slate range works really well when you want to highlight architectural features as are not too grey or too yellow - they sit perfectly in between and never disappoint. When the room is naturally light and airy, deeper slate colours work better, for example, Slate III & IV, and when the room is smaller and gets less light then Slate I & II are great options.
