Skimming Stone No. 241 is a warm light grey with a soft, stony feel. Named after a 19th-century “skim” (plaster colour), it also brings to mind easy afternoons skimming stones—calm, natural, and effortlessly lived-in.
With its warm light grey undertones, Skimming Stone is extremely versatile and especially suited to soothing bedroom schemes. As one of Farrow & Ball’s Contemporary Neutrals, it sits beautifully between the lighter Strong White and the deeper Elephant’s Breath for a clean, contemporary look. For a richer, moodier statement, pair it with deeper shades like Pelt or London Clay.
