Wall paint - Bone No. 15

About Bone No. 15

Bone is our gentle grey with a green undertone, which pairs excellently with our greenish neutrals like Lime White or Old White, of which there are several in the Farrow & Ball palette. On woodwork, it elegantly complements strong, traditional wall colours.

Colour Effect & Light

Bone drapes the walls like a warm, stony veil, instantly making rooms feel more homely. Due to its high pigmentation, the tone changes with the daylight: softer in the morning, deeper in the evening.

Combine like the pros

The official complementary white for Bone is Wimborne White, ideal for ceilings, mouldings, and adjacent areas. Farrow & Ball recommended colour schemes: Railings & Card Room Green · Slipper Satin & Lime White · Off-White & Blue Gray · Green Smoke & Hague Blue.
