Blue Cast Iron Radiators

The blue spectrum for cast iron radiators

Inky and dark blue: Farrow & Ball Stiffkey Blue is one of the most popular dark blue choices for cast iron: deep, complex and slightly blue-green in certain lights. Drawing Room Blue is richer and more saturated, with a strong period character. Pitch Blue is a cleaner, darker navy. All three suit period drawing rooms, hallways and statement walls.

Navy blue: Stiffkey Blue and Drawing Room Blue both read as navy in lower light. RAL 5005 Signal Blue gives a brighter, more saturated navy for rooms that want more presence. Little Greene Tea With Florence gives a softer heritage navy for period properties.

Royal blue: RAL 5005 Signal Blue is the closest to a true royal blue in our range. Bold and confident, it works in kitchens, hallways and any room where the radiator is a deliberate focal point.

Mid blue: Farrow & Ball Cook's Blue sits between mid and light blue. A calm, considered mid-tone that suits contemporary and coastal interiors without overpowering the room.

Light and duck egg blue: Farrow & Ball De Nimes gives a soft blue-grey that sits at the lightest end of our blue range. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms and rooms where blue needs to work quietly within the scheme rather than announce itself.

Bespoke blue: Send us a paint sample, a RAL code or a company colour specification and we'll match it.
