Farrow & Ball

Pigeon

No. 25

Pigeon by Farrow & Ball is a gray-green with a cool blue undertone that shifts noticeably depending on the light source. With an LRV of 61.6, it reflects a moderate amount of light and reads as a mid-tone neutral in most conditions. It works well in living rooms, bedrooms, and studies where a quiet but distinct wall color is wanted.

It pairs naturally with Farrow & Ball shades like French Gray, Cromarty, and School House White, and can be contrasted with warmer tones like Setting Plaster or Dead Salmon to balance its coolness.
