Farrow & Ball

Skimming Stone

No. 241

Skimming Stone by Farrow & Ball is a warm greige with taupe and mushroom undertones, hex #DBD5CA. It has an LRV of 83.7, which means it reflects a high amount of light while still carrying enough pigment to feel like more than just a white. The warm gray-beige balance makes it useful as a full-room wall color in both modern and period properties.

It layers well with Elephant's Breath, Joa's White, Mole's Breath, Cornforth White, and Railings, covering a range from tonal pairings to stronger contrast.
