Farrow & Ball

Stony Ground

No. 211

Stony Ground is a warm neutral brown from Farrow & Ball with soft earthy undertones and a hex value of #C9BFAB. Its LRV is 75.2 placing it in the upper-mid reflectance range so it reads as light on the wall while carrying enough pigment to feel warmer than a standard off-white. It is a practical choice for living rooms, hallways, and bedrooms where a warm base is wanted without going dark.

Stony Ground works alongside Farrow & Ball Skimming Stone and Dimity for tonal continuity and pairs with Oxford Stone, London Stone, and Pelt.
