Farrow & Ball

Broccoli Brown

No. 198

Broccoli Brown is a muted earthy brown with subtle gray undertones that keep it from reading too warm or chocolate-toned. With an LRV of 46.1, it sits in the mid range and can darken in rooms with limited natural light. It works well in traditional or rustic interiors, particularly on lower walls, cabinetry, or as a grounding accent.

For a layered neutral palette, it pairs with Farrow & Ball's Slipper Satin and Dimity, while soft sage greens or muted ochres complement its natural warmth. Cooler grays or deep charcoal tones can also be used alongside it for definition.
