Farrow & Ball

Scallop

No. 311

Scallop is a light neutral from Farrow & Ball with a soft pink undertone that gives it warmth without pushing it toward obvious colour. Its LRV of 79.5 means it reflects a large share of available light making it practical for bedrooms and living rooms and kitchens where brightness matters. The pink cast is subtle enough that it reads as a warm neutral in most lighting.

Ammonite and Cornforth White work well alongside it for a tonal palette while Railings and Down Pipe or Pink Ground can provide contrast or reinforce the underlying warmth.
