History
The company was started by John Farrow and Richard Maurice Ball in 1946 in Wimborne Minster, Dorset. Both Farrow and Ball had previously been chemists.[2][3][4] The company was the first manufacturer to switch to the production of 100 per cent water-based paints in 2010.[5]
Products
Paint
Farrow & Ball maintains an updated colour card of 132 colours.[6] The company has worked with the National Trust in formulating near-exact matches of colours used in the restoration of the interiors and exteriors of historic buildings.[7][8][9][10]
Wallpaper
Farrow & Ball produces wallpaper patterns made using traditional block, trough and roller methods with the company's own paint.[11]
