The Farrow & Ball colour Ammonite No. 274 is a naturally understated neutral, named after the prehistoric fossils found on the Dorset coast. It's a subtle, easy grey—neither too warm nor too cool—which creates a hushed and calming feel in both modern and traditional homes. The Flat Eggshell finish is a water-based, low-sheen (20% sheen) paint that is super-tough, scrubbable, and stain-resistant, making it a highly durable choice for interior wood, metal, concrete, and high-traffic areas like kitchen cabinets, floors, and skirting boards.
