Pavilion Gray No. 242 is a classic cool mid grey with subtle blue undertones. Originally created for a bespoke pavilion, it also echoes the elegance of an 18th-century Swedish colour—timeless, refined, and quietly contemporary.
As one of Farrow & Ball’s Architectural Neutrals, Pavilion Gray brings a modern edge and a sense of spaciousness to interiors. Use it on walls for a clean, confident backdrop, or layer it with other cool neutrals for a calm, cohesive scheme. It pairs beautifully with Dimpse, Blackened, and Manor House Gray in almost any combination—ideal for a modern family home.
