What color is Farrow and Ball Broccoli Brown?
Farrow and Ball Broccoli Brown 198 is a muted mid-tone brown with a noticeable grey cast, giving it the look of weathered wood or aged stone rather than a rich chocolate shade. Its subdued warmth keeps it grounded, while the low saturation prevents it from feeling heavy on broad walls. In brighter daylight, this color can read as a soft taupe-brown; under warmer artificial light, its earthy brown character becomes more apparent. Use it for cabinetry, a study, dining room walls, or exterior trim where a restrained natural neutral is needed. Pair Broccoli Brown with chalky off-whites, muted green-greys, blackened metal, linen, and oak for a material-focused interior.

What are Farrow and Ball Broccoli Brown undertones?
Broccoli Brown reads as a muted, medium-deep brown with a noticeable orange cast and low saturation. Its visible bias leans slightly red and yellow, giving the brown an earthy warmth rather than a cool or gray-brown appearance. Farrow & Ball describes it as a “dark, quiet colour,” but the supplied digital sample appears closer to midtone than truly dark. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its orange-brown warmth, while cool daylight can make the color look more restrained and slightly less warm.
