Farrow & Ball

London Stone

No. 6

London Stone is a warm brownish neutral with gray undertones that prevent it from leaning too yellow or pink. With an LRV of 64.4, it reflects a moderate-to-high amount of light, making it functional as a main wall color in living rooms, home offices, and open-plan spaces without feeling dark. It reads as a substantial neutral that still carries warmth.

Joas White and Elephants Breath complement it in tonal neutral schemes, while Middleton Pink or Pale Powder can lighten adjacent walls. For sharper contrast, Railings or Hague Blue work well on trim or built-in joinery.
