Wall paint - Manor House Gray No. 265

About Manor House Gray No. 265

Manor House Gray is a cool, clean gray. As the darkest tone in the Farrow & Ball architectural cool gray neutral group, it is well suited for modern design concepts, or as an accent for Dimpse or Blackened. For a luxurious look with dramatically dark tones, it can also be combined effectively with Railings.

Color Impact & Light

Manor House Gray settles over walls like a warm, stone-colored veil, making rooms instantly more livable. Due to its high pigmentation, the tone changes with the daylight: softer in the morning, deeper in the evening.
