Farrow and Ball Drab 41

Farrow and Ball Drab 41 is a muted mid-tone brown with a dry, earthy cast and a noticeable yellow-beige undertone. Its low saturation keeps it from feeling overly golden, giving the color a softened, slightly weathered appearance. In bright daylight, Drab can show more of its khaki warmth, while lower or cooler light brings forward its subdued brown-grey side. It suits studies, hallways, kitchens, and painted cabinetry, particularly alongside natural oak, aged brass, linen, terracotta, and off-white trim. Use this shade where a grounded neutral is wanted without the stronger contrast of a deep brown.
