Pigeon No. 25 by Farrow & Ball is a strong blue-grey with a cosy, nostalgic feel—named after the familiar bird often seen across London. Softer and bluer than more contemporary greys like Mole’s Breath, Pigeon is especially suited to boot rooms, cloakrooms, and darker spaces such as studies and panelled rooms, where it adds depth without feeling harsh.
It’s also a favourite for kitchen islands. Pair Pigeon with the more delicate Dimpse on units for a layered, classic look that feels both calm and characterful.
Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Mid Tones.
Complementary white: School House White.
