Peignoir No. 286 by Farrow & Ball is a romantic grey-pink inspired by the chiffon gowns traditionally worn while brushing hair. By giving the softest pink a generous dose of grey, Peignoir gains a distinctive, grown-up depth that brings walls to life—never sugary, always elegant.
It works beautifully in both old and new homes. Pair Peignoir with Farrow & Ball Contemporary Neutrals for a calm, modern scheme, or lean into richer colour by combining it with Brassica and Pelt for a layered, sophisticated palette.
Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Mid Tones.
Complementary white: Strong White.
