Farrow & Ball

Ash Grey

No. W9

Ash Grey is a light neutral with a subtle green undertone that can appear more khaki in warm bulbs and more gray in cool daylight. With an LRV of 71.4, it stays fairly bright and is often used on walls in bedrooms, kitchens, and open-plan spaces. It can read more green next to blue-grays and more gray next to warm creams.

For related neutrals, it pairs with Pavilion Gray and Cornforth White, and it can be balanced with Lichen to reinforce the green note. For contrast, Hague Blue or Tanner’s Brown add a deeper edge for doors or cabinetry.
