Farrow & Ball

Purbeck Stone

No. 275

Purbeck Stone is a light warm gray from Farrow & Ball with an LRV of 73.8 and subtle yellow-beige undertones that keep it from reading too cool. At hex #C0BCB3 it functions as a reliable neutral for walls and trim in living rooms or hallways where consistent warmth is needed. It sits comfortably alongside Ammonite and Cornforth White for a tonal gray scheme and works well with Elephant's Breath or Skimming Stone to maintain a quiet warmth throughout a space.

Stronger Down Pipe accents can provide useful contrast.
