Farrow & Ball 2.5L Modern Emulsion Smelt Black No.G18 Roller Poles a country house estate inSmelt 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.
