What color is Farrow and Ball Scallop?

Farrow and Ball Scallop 311 is a light, muted beige with a noticeable soft pink cast that keeps it from reading flat or grey. Its low-saturation warmth gives walls a gently chalky, plaster-like appearance, especially in rooms with natural daylight. In cooler north-facing light, Scallop can appear more subdued and taupe-leaning, while warmer lamps bring out its peach-beige side. It suits bedrooms, dressing rooms, and dining spaces where a pale neutral with a little color is wanted. Pair it with creamy whites, warm wood, aged brass, linen upholstery, or deeper clay and brown accents for contrast.

What are Farrow and Ball Scallop undertones?

Scallop is a light, very muted peach-beige with a soft orange direction and a restrained, low-saturation look. The supplied digital sample shows a subtle lean toward both red and yellow, which can read as a gentle warm blush rather than a clearly pink or tan color. Farrow & Ball describes it as a lighter take on Dead Salmon; that description fits its visibly warm, softened peach family without making the color strongly salmon-pink. Warm artificial light may bring out its peachier warmth, while cool daylight can make it appear quieter and more beige.
