Farrow and Ball Liquorice CB10 is a deep charcoal grey with an almost neutral cast, sitting just short of black. Its low-saturation appearance gives it a softened, matte-looking presence rather than a sharp or inky effect. In bright daylight, the grey character is easier to see; in lower light, it can read as a near-black backdrop. Use it on cabinetry, doors, bookcases, or a single wall where a darker finish will add definition without introducing an obvious color undertone. Liquorice pairs naturally with pale warm whites, light grey stone, aged brass, black metal, and richly grained wood.
