5L Farrow & Ball Exterior Masonry Smelt Black No.G18

Smelt Black, from Farrow & Ball's Archive collection, is a softer alternative to a true pitch black. It's the perfect hue for use on outdoor metalwork, or for gentler take on a classic front door colour, but can also be used as a wall colour in small spaces for a look that's dramatic but not overwhelming.

Exterior Masonry is a super-matt, long-lasting finish for exterior walls. Its water-resistant formula protects walls, while at the same time offering the highest level of water vapour permeability to allow them to breathe. It resists flaking, peeling, and fading for up to 15 years.
