Judith HolderHOST
all going to be different things, aren't they, at different times? And at
Jenny EclairHOST
that point, when he said that, and we did quite a lot of colour mixing, I thought maybe he'll go and work for Farrow & Ball and make up new colours.
Judith HolderHOST
Oh, did you? And I
Jenny EclairHOST
can make up the names.
Judith HolderHOST
I did.
Judith HolderHOST
I
Jenny EclairHOST
had a flip chart and it was a Farrow & Ball paint chart, wasn't it? Wasn't it something about the menopause though? Yes, it was.
Jenny EclairHOST
The colours.
Annie Meyers-ShyerGUEST
Yes.
Annie Meyers-ShyerGUEST
Well, I met with, let's see, I met with a Farrow & Ball paint consultant, then my mom gifted me some hours with her personal paint consultant.
Annie Meyers-ShyerGUEST
So, like, I did, I did so much paint research.
Annie Meyers-ShyerGUEST
And also, I mean, this is really, we're getting into the weeds, but all paint companies sort of have an 800 number you can call and ask them questions.
Annie Meyers-ShyerGUEST
Okay.
Annie Meyers-ShyerGUEST
That's a great question.
Annie Meyers-ShyerGUEST
So Farrow & Ball offers a paint consultancy service.
Annie Meyers-ShyerGUEST
So basically they'll come over, and they'll look at the lights in your room, sort of where you get natural light.
Kelly WilkinisHOST
Like, I cannot believe it's 10 years.
Kelly WilkinisHOST
Okay, but this podcast, which, you know, there's a limited number of them, but it was produced by Farrow & Ball, and it's called-
Anita JoyceHOST
Oh, yeah
Kelly WilkinisHOST
... do you know that one?
Kelly WilkinisHOST
Mostly everybody's in the design world that they're interviewing.
Kelly WilkinisHOST
It's just a really great conversation.
Kelly WilkinisHOST
They ask people to identify in, in a way with colors from Farrow & Ball in different phases of their lives.
Anita JoyceHOST
This is the one I've heard, and you're right
Chloe FinemanGUEST
He mostly does, although we just painted this house.
Chloe FinemanGUEST
I picked out this color, Farrow & Ball something something.
Jeremiah BrentHOST
Which I love.
Jeremiah BrentHOST
It's a beautiful color.
Annie Meyers-ShyerGUEST
I hear that all the time.
Annie Meyers-ShyerGUEST
People will say to me, my painter doesn't like Farrow and Ball.
Annie Meyers-ShyerGUEST
And I will write them back.
Annie Meyers-ShyerGUEST
Great.
Brittany LuseHOST
Really loud color might be seen as tacky for some.
Brittany LuseHOST
But Katie, I mean, you mentioned to our producer, Liam, Farrow and Ball, which is a fancy, fancy paint brand with a limited selection of paints.
Brittany LuseHOST
And they have some really loud, really bold colors.
Brittany LuseHOST
I wouldn't dream of painting even... mug in Farrow and Ball because it ain't cheap, right? But all this to say, I think color could be coded in all sorts of ways.
Brittany LuseHOST
How is color versatile as a means to convey class?
Katy KelleherGUEST
Well, I think that, you know, with Farrow and Ball, their sort of magic touch is in selecting a range of colors and creating this, you know, sense of this narrative of heritage and this narrative of luxury out of choosing a you know, very specific colors, giving them very specific names, sometimes sort of off-putting weird names like Mouse's Breath or Elephant Foot or, you know, they always choose sort of off-putting ones.
Katy KelleherGUEST
The names are wild, yeah.
Katy KelleherGUEST
You know, it's a little gatekeeping.
Iain DaleHOST
... a couple years later on Chartwell.
Tessa DunlopHOST
The National Trust, I think they turn everything into Farrow & Ball, you know?
Iain DaleHOST
Yeah.
Iain DaleHOST
No, you're absolutely right on that.
Fiona FrawleyHOST
I went on this webs- I've been flat out on Pinterest, and I thought I wanted like a yellow mustardy color.
Fiona FrawleyHOST
So I just went on this website and was like, "Yellow paint." And then this website, it was like a Farrow & Ball website, and that's like, they, uh, they say what cream goes with that.
Fiona FrawleyHOST
And then I just acted like I just wanted everyone to give me compliments about it.
Fiona FrawleyHOST
And I'm like, "So do you think we should repaint now?"
Annie Meyers-ShyerGUEST
I was approached during the house build by many brands.
Annie Meyers-ShyerGUEST
You know, when I heard from Farrow & Ball and they said, "We'd love to work with you on the paint for the house," I said, "Amazing."
Dennis ScullyHOST
[laughs]
Annie Meyers-ShyerGUEST
I was going to work with...
Annie Meyers-ShyerGUEST
I was going to get Farrow & Ball paint-
Dennis ScullyHOST
Yes
Annie Meyers-ShyerGUEST
... regardless.
31 MINS LATER
Annie Meyers-ShyerGUEST
All the things.
NickiGUEST
Or
EmmaGUEST
we'll decorate it with off-the-shelf paint, but what do you mean you want Farrow and Ball? Or what do you mean this is...
EmmaGUEST
To actually get a very set in concrete list of everything, I think has been worth the time and the investment, but it's not necessarily investment we were anticipating.
Jack DuganHOST
Definitely.
