Farrow & Ball pair Bone with Wimborne White as its complementary white. Their suggested schemes combine it with Off-White and Blue Gray, Railings and Card Room Green, or Slipper Satin and Lime White.

What colour is Bone by Farrow & Ball?

Bone is a soft grey with a touch of green, which Farrow & Ball describe as a stony neutral. They note that it is softer than Old White.

Where to use Farrow & Ball Bone No.15

Farrow & Ball suggest Bone for halls, where it gives a timeless look with Lime White on the woodwork. Paired with lighter tones it can bring a feeling of light and space, and it also works as a sympathetic neutral alongside their stronger, more traditional colours.

Choose Estate Emulsion or Modern Emulsion for walls and ceilings, Dead Flat for a completely flat look across walls and woodwork, and Flat Eggshell, Modern Eggshell or Full Gloss for woodwork and cabinets. For exteriors, choose Exterior Masonry or Exterior Eggshell for breathable, weather-resistant performance. Casein Distemper, Soft Distemper and Limewash are also available in this colour.
