Stony Ground No. 211 by Farrow & Ball is a classic stone colour with a soft beige finish and a slight underlying red that adds warmth. Originally loved as a wallpaper background shade, it translates beautifully into richly pigmented paint—making it a dependable neutral that feels inviting rather than flat.
For a quietly cohesive scheme, pair Stony Ground with the lighter Shaded White for gentle contrast, or add depth with Mouse’s Back for a stronger, grounded companion colour. It’s a great choice for living spaces, hallways, bedrooms, and anywhere you want a timeless stone neutral that still feels warm.
Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Mid Tones.
Complementary white: School House White.
