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.
