Product description & features

Archive color — made to order. This Farrow & Ball Archive color remains available to order.

Like the warmer Dauphin, this mid-toned brown is a classic example of the elegant 'drab' tones loved by homeowners of the 18th and 19th centuries. Far from being dull, as our modern understanding of its name would suggest, it simply means a colour without brightness. Try it on woodwork with a softer Farrow & Ball white, like Off-White, on walls.

Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Dark Tones

Complementary white: Off-White
