# Farrow and Ball Ammonite

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/ammonite](https://plan-home.com/color/ammonite)

Farrow and Ball Ammonite 274 is a light, muted grey with a soft beige cast that keeps it from reading cold or stark. Its low saturation gives walls a gentle, chalky appearance, while the #ddd8cf value places it comfortably in the pale neutral range. In north-facing rooms, Ammonite can appear more distinctly grey; warmer daylight and lamplight draw out its subtle sandy undertone. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a quiet backdrop is wanted without the brightness of pure white. Pair it with natural oak, linen upholstery, warm white trim, charcoal details, or aged brass for a grounded, lightly layered interior.
