Farrow & Ball

Calluna

No. 270

Calluna is a soft lavender with neutral undertones that reads almost gray in low light and shows a gentle lilac tint in daylight. With an LRV of 78.4, it reflects a high amount of light and stays in the bright range, making it usable for full-room coverage without reading too dark. It works in bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways where a subtle hint of color is preferred over a plain neutral.

For a light palette, it pairs with Farrow & Ball's Ammonite and Wevet, while Brassica provides a deeper purple step. Grayed blues and dusty mauves extend the tonal range in adjacent spaces.
