Netflix’s The Thursday Murder Club was the last place I thought i’d find my new farrow & ball paint color crush. However, after previewing the film ahead of its launch, I guarantee that this Lesser-Known Farrow & Ball Paint Color is going to take off in a big way.
The new film Drops on Netflix on 28th August with a Steller Cast Including Helen Mirren, Celia Imrie, Pierce Brosnan and Ben Kingsley. It’s based on the books by Richard Osman, and follows a group of oaps solving crimes at their retirement home, cooper’s chase. However, this is not just just any old retirement home.
Set at Englefield House in Berkshire, It is Jaw-Droppingly Beautiful, and all of the characters’ Apartments are filled with surprisingly stylish design details. This was all International, James Merifield, The Film’s Production Designer, Told Me When I Spoke to Him. ‘We wanted this place to feel aspirational.’
However, there is one set in particular that even james admits he’d love to live in, and that is the Apartment of the Main Character, Elizabeth, Played by Helen Mirren.

Elizabeth is the unofficial leader of the crime-solving crew, and it’s her living room that features the blue paint shade I spotted instantly in the trailer for the new film. When I spoke to james, he revised that the color was based on Farrow & Ball’s ‘Inchyra Blue’.
You’ll Likely have Heard of the famous ‘Hague Blue’, but ‘Inchyra Blue’ is One of Farrow & Ball’s Lesser-KNOWN Colors, which makes it all the more appareing. It is a pungent blue with a dark green inspired by the scottish skies. It’s an unusual and sophisticated take on the navy color trend.
‘It had to feel very elegant, very regal, very sophisticated, but also well-travelled,’ Says james of the look he was going for in the character’s apartment. ‘It by no means should ever feel fuddy or fusty.’ The rich blue is a key part of achieving this modern, but timeless aesthetic.

Color Drenching The Walls, Bookcases and Fireplace in this shade, and coordinating the sofa is a smart design trick that works bot on screen and in a real home to make a Room Look Efortlessly Stylish and Exece.
‘Darker Colors Can Imbue A Magical Quality in Your Living Room, Especially in the Evening,’ Says Patrick O’Donnel, Brand Ambassador at Farrow & Ball. ‘Maximising a cosy quality, they can cocoon you in their richness. Something Such as the Complex Blue/Green Notes of Inchyra Blue in Dead Flat Bold Look Super Elegant in a Living Room Paired With Woodwork in A SHE SUCH SUCH SUCTE SUCH SUCTE EGITE EGGHGSHLLL. Add a note of spice with a sofa in burnt orange wool or velvet. ‘
In the film, this blue paint color is the perfect backdrop that ties together the antique wooden furniture and terracotta reds in elizabeth’s apartment. Eagle-Ayed Fans will take spot a less other design-future brands adorning her flat, including candlesticks which look very similar to Nkuku and Lighting fromky.
