Light Gray No. 17 by Farrow & Ball is a stony grey-green traditional neutral with an ancient colour name dating back to the 9th century—timeless in both history and feel. Its subtle green base gives it exceptional depth when used on walls, creating a calm, layered backdrop that never feels flat.
Light Gray is a perfect accent for Farrow & Ball Traditional Neutrals and works especially well on furniture and joinery. In Off-White schemes, it pairs beautifully alongside Old White for a soft, heritage look. For a more relaxed, slightly “mismatched” coastal feel, combine it with Stiffkey Blue.
Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Mid Tones.
Complementary white: Slipper Satin.
