# Farrow and Ball Salon Drab

Farrow and Ball Salon Drab 290 is a muted, medium-dark olive brown with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it from reading too earthy or golden. Its low saturation gives walls a settled, slightly weathered appearance, especially in rooms with soft natural light. In brighter spaces, the warm brown undertone becomes clearer, while evening light can pull it toward a deeper charcoal-olive. Use Salon Drab on cabinetry, a study, dining room walls, or exterior trim alongside warm off-whites, aged brass, dark bronze, natural oak, and stone finishes.
