Farrow & Ball

Chemise

No. 216

Chemise is a warm neutral that blends gray and beige undertones into a quiet, mid-toned shade. With an LRV of 57.2, it reflects a moderate amount of light, making it functional in rooms with limited natural light without appearing washed out. It reads as a soft greige on walls and adapts well to bedrooms, hallways, and living spaces.

Paired with Farrow & Ball's Cornforth White or Ammonite, the result is a cohesive tonal range. For contrast, Hague Blue or Studio Green adds depth, while Pale Powder introduces a lighter, cooler shift.
