Farrow & Ball

Manor House Gray

No. 265

Manor House Gray by Farrow & Ball is a mid-tone cool gray with restrained green-blue undertones that keep it from reading as flat or lifeless on the wall. At an LRV of 62.5 it reflects a moderate amount of light, making it functional in hallways, living rooms, and open-plan kitchens where a composed neutral backdrop is needed. It sits well alongside Cornforth White and Pavilion Gray for a tonal gray scheme, while Ammonite or Purbeck Stone can soften transitions.

Pairing it with Strong White on trim provides clean definition without harsh contrast.
