Mole’s Breath No. 276 by Farrow & Ball is a timeless, moody grey whose name nods to the much-loved Elephant’s Breath—this time inspired by a smaller, furrier animal. It’s one of Farrow & Ball’s most versatile stronger accents, pairing beautifully with Relaxed Neutrals like Purbeck Stone as well as Contemporary Neutrals like Strong White.
Mole’s Breath is especially effective for grounding kitchen islands, adding depth to cabinetry, and creating a fabulously sullen yet warm feel on the walls of smaller spaces. The result is dramatic without feeling cold—perfect when you want a grey with real presence.
Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Dark Tones.
Complementary white: Ammonite.
