# Farrow and Ball Elephant's Breath

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

Farrow and Ball Elephant's Breath 229 is a muted light greige with a gentle beige cast and soft gray restraint. Its low-saturation, mid-light appearance keeps walls from reading stark, while the warm pinkish-taupe undertone adds a little depth to the neutral base. In sunlit rooms, this shade can appear more creamy and beige; cooler daylight or shadow tends to draw out its quieter gray side. Use it across living room or bedroom walls with natural oak, linen upholstery, aged brass, and off-white trim, or apply it to cabinetry for a subdued alternative to bright white.
