Farrow and Ball is a British manufacturer of paints, for architectural application, based upon historic colour palettes. The company works with the National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty of the UK, and America's National Trust for Historic Preservation in formulating near to exact matches for the restoration of historic building interiors and exteriors.

Using stable contemporary materials, Farrow and Ball, colour matches antique paint formulas that once contained dangerous materials like arsenic or lead, or strangely odd, and now unavailable, ingredients such as powdered dried mummy parts. Initial distribution was in the UK and Scandinavia. Today the colours are sold throughout Europe and North America for private use as well as for historic sites.
