Farrow & Ball

Pink Drab

No. 207

Pink Drab is a muted pinkish-brown with earthy undertones that keep it firmly in neutral territory. Its LRV of 72.6 means it reflects a fair amount of light while still reading as a distinct color rather than an off-white. On walls it leans warm without becoming overtly pink, which makes it practical for hallways, living rooms, and bedrooms where a subdued backdrop is needed.

It pairs naturally with Farrow & Ball shades like Skimming Stone and Elephant's Breath for a layered neutral scheme. Setting Plaster adds a slightly warmer companion, while Vert De Terre introduces a soft green contrast.
