Wall paint - Fawn No. 10

Fawn No. 10 – Colour Description

A timeless greenish neutral. Fawn is our interpretation of a typical 18th-century colour. It is very popular for use on both woodwork and walls alike, and thanks to its green undertones, it also harmonises perfectly with our traditional neutrals group.

A shade from the Farrow & Ball Archive

Fawn is one of Farrow & Ball's Archive colours: no longer in the current colour card, but still available in its original quality. Every tin is mixed to order. Due to the high pigmentation, the tone shifts with the daylight – softer in the morning, deeper in the evening.
