Farrow & Ball

Stoke

No. CC7

Stoke is a balanced mid-grey from Farrow & Ball with an LRV of 56.6 and subtle taupe undertones that prevent it from reading as flat or sterile. At hex #93908A it falls in a neutral zone that is neither distinctly warm nor cool which makes it functional across different lighting conditions and room orientations. It works well on full-room walls, trim, or built-in cabinetry.

Stoke sits comfortably alongside Farrow & Ball Ammonite, Cornforth White, Pavilion Gray, Purbeck Stone, and Pale Powder allowing for tonal layering without strong contrast.
