Hague Blue No. 30: The UK's Favourite Navy Front Door
Hague Blue is a deep, moody navy inspired by the trim on 17th-century Dutch houses. It has become one of the most popular UK front door colours, especially on Victorian terraces and Edwardian semis.
It also works well on garage doors, window frames on painted render houses, and as an accent on weatherboarded extensions.

Frequently asked questions
Is Hague Blue suitable for listed buildings?
Many listed buildings permit rich navy doors; however, Listed Building Consent is required for any colour change. Always check with conservation officers first.
Does Hague Blue fade?
Deep blues are UV-sensitive but Farrow & Ball's exterior formulations hold up well for 6-8 years on a front door. South-facing doors may show fading sooner.
