New colours from Farrow & Ball

From Stiffkey Blue to Nancy's Blush, the new colours for 2013 are out.

It's a great site too that gives loads of inspiration and also provides moodboards for each colour and a selection of other Farrow & Ball colours that work well alongside. Take Mole's Breath for example...
