Farrow & Ball

Pelt

No. 254

Pelt by Farrow & Ball is a deep, cool-toned purple with muted plum undertones. Its LRV of 28.5 means it absorbs most light, so it reads as a dark, saturated color best used on accent walls or in rooms with strong natural or artificial lighting. The undertone structure leans cool without becoming blue.

It works well with lighter Farrow & Ball neutrals like Skimming Stone and Ammonite to offset its depth, and pairs naturally with Calluna or Brinjal for a tonal purple scheme. Cornforth White provides a clean contrast on trim.
