Farrow & Ball

Duster

No. 319

Duster by Farrow & Ball is a warm mid-toned brown with yellow undertones that push it toward a sandy ochre rather than a cooler taupe. It has an LRV of 62.2, so it reflects enough light to keep a room open while still reading as a definite color rather than a neutral. It works well in living rooms and hallways where warmth is wanted without heaviness.

White Tie and Pointing can serve as trim or ceiling colors alongside it, and String provides a close tonal step. For contrast, Hague Blue or Studio Green give a cooler counterpoint.
