Farrow & Ball

Stirabout

No. 300

Stirabout is a soft warm neutral from Farrow & Ball that sits between beige and taupe with subtle yellow-gray undertones. Its hex value is #D9CFC2 and it has an LRV of 81.6, meaning it reflects a high amount of light and works well in hallways, open-plan living areas, or any room where a bright but grounded backdrop is needed. The oatmeal quality keeps it from reading as stark white while still maintaining airiness.

It coordinates well with Farrow & Ball School House White, Drop Cloth, Skimming Stone, Elephant's Breath, and Shaded White for layered neutral schemes.
