Farrow & Ball

Tack Room Door

No. G6

Tack Room Door is a warm mid-tone brown with noticeable beige and gray undertones that keep it from reading too orange or too dark. At an LRV of 51.9, it sits near the middle of the reflectance scale, so it holds up in both well-lit and lower-light rooms without losing definition. It works well on cabinetry, full walls in studies or hallways, and exterior woodwork.

Skimming Stone and Drop Cloth pair naturally as lighter companions, while Hague Blue or Studio Green can provide a stronger contrast on adjacent surfaces or trim.
