Farrow & Ball

Railings

No. 31

Railings is a near-black from Farrow & Ball with an LRV of 28.4 and pronounced blue undertones that distinguish it from a flat black. Hex #45494C reads as a dark graphite that shifts toward navy under cooler lighting. It is commonly used on front doors and ironwork but also works on kitchen cabinetry or as a feature wall in well-lit rooms.

Ammonite or Shadow White on surrounding walls provides necessary contrast. Down Pipe and Hague Blue sit in a similar tonal family while Studio Green pairs well in darker coordinated schemes.
