Stirabout No. 300 by Farrow & Ball is an earthy neutral inspired by the comforting porridge enjoyed for centuries in Ireland. With just a hint of underlying grey, it creates a relaxed, grounded look that stays warm and welcoming—without ever feeling too cold.
For a laidback, natural scheme, pair Stirabout with Jitney and texture-rich materials like linen, wool, and other natural fabrics. It’s an easy choice for calm living spaces, bedrooms, hallways, and anywhere you want soft warmth with a touch of modern restraint.
Recommended Primer & Undercoat: White and Light Tones.
Complementary white: Pointing.
