Jitney No. 293 by Farrow & Ball is a relaxed, brown-based neutral that sits between the traditional warmth of Oxford Stone and the greyer tone of Elephant’s Breath. Although muted, it feels surprisingly uplifting—bringing to mind soft sand and easy, coastal calm.
Jitney works beautifully in living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and open-plan spaces where you want a grounded neutral that still feels light and airy. Pair it with natural textures and warm woods for a laidback look, or keep it crisp with a clean complementary white on trim and ceilings.
Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Mid Tones.
Complementary white: Dimity.
