Wall paint - Skimming Stone No. 241

About Skimming Stone No. 241

Skimming Stone is a light grey with subtle lilac undertones that give it just the right amount of warmth while keeping it looking very modern. Because of its warm undertone, it is a great choice for a bedroom and a wonderful complement to the Farrow & Ball classic Elephant's Breath, which serves as its darker accent.

Color Impact & Light

Skimming Stone casts a warm, stony veil over walls, instantly making rooms feel more livable. Thanks to its high pigmentation, the tone changes with the daylight: softer in the morning, deeper in the evening.
