Farrow & Ball

Salt

No. CC5

Salt by Farrow & Ball is a near-white with faint grey undertones that keep it from reading as stark. Its hex value is #E6E4E1, and with an LRV of 89.5 it reflects a large amount of light, making it well suited for ceilings, small rooms, and north-facing spaces where brightness matters. The tone stays neutral across most lighting conditions, leaning only slightly cool.

It works cleanly alongside Farrow & Ball colors like Ammonite, Wevet, Cornforth White, Purbeck Stone, and Skimming Stone for layered neutral schemes.
