Farrow & Ball

Castle Gray

No. 92

Castle Gray is a muted green-gray that leans noticeably toward green in natural light, with cool undertones and faint earthy warmth underneath. It has an LRV of 57.5, placing it in the mid-range where it neither dominates a room nor recedes entirely. This makes it a reasonable option for exterior woodwork, interior panelling, or full walls in rooms with moderate light.

Warm off-whites like Farrow & Ball Shaded White or Slipper Satin work well on adjacent trim to draw out the cool green cast. For tonal depth, Lichen and Pigeon sit in a similar muted range, while Studio Green or Railings supply stronger contrast on doors or built-in features.
