Farrow & Ball

Dauphin

No. 54

Dauphin is a mid-toned neutral brown from Farrow & Ball with a grey undertone that keeps it from reading too warm. With an LRV of 51.0 it sits near the middle of the reflectance scale, making it functional in both well-lit and lower-light rooms such as hallways, studies, or dining areas. The grey content prevents it from skewing orange under artificial light, giving it a steady appearance throughout the day.

It works well with Skimming Stone or Elephant's Breath for a tonal scheme, and can be contrasted with Stiffkey Blue or Green Smoke. Joa's White suits the trim.
