# Farrow and Ball Archive

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/farrow-and-ball-archive](https://plan-home.com/color/farrow-and-ball-archive)

Farrow and Ball Archive 227 is a light, muted beige with a noticeable warm pink-beige cast in its #d6c5b0 value. It has a softly dusty quality rather than a bright cream finish, giving walls a gentle, low-contrast look. In warm daylight, Archive can read more peachy and sun-warmed, while cooler light may bring out its subdued grey-beige side. It suits bedrooms, sitting rooms, and hallways where a pale neutral needs more character than plain ivory. Pair it with chalky white trim, weathered oak, linen upholstery, and clay or terracotta accents for a grounded, natural palette.
