Drab - No. 41

In colourists' terms, 'drab' simply means a colour lacking in brightness, and this typical 18th-century colour encapsulates it perfectly. Particularly good on woodwork, both interior and exterior, when teamed with Off-White on walls.

Luckily, our samples are here to help. With sample pots for our signature shades and paint swatches for our Archive and limited-edition collections , you can try every Farrow & Ball colour to find your favourite. They’re all 100% true to colour so you can see exactly how a shade will come to life in your space. Apply two coats of your sample onto thick paper or card — the bigger the better — and let it dry. Ideally you want to do this at least twice, so you have multiple pieces to play with.  If you’ve ordered a paint swatch, you can skip this stage as we’ve already done it for you. Carefully place the sheets around the space you’re decorating. You want to spread them out in different areas so you can see how the colour looks in different surroundings.   If you’re trying to choose between a few different colours, don’t put them directly next to each other like a patchwork quilt. This makes it difficult to see how a shade will truly look when used by itself in the space. This isn’t a snap decision. Check your samples over the course of a day or two to see how the colour looks in different lights.   If you’re decorating a dining room, snug or another space you plan to use in the evening, try closing the curtains, turning on a lamp and perhaps even lighting a candle to see the colours in low light. Don’t forget to consider your room as a whole. If you’re painting a wall, how does the colour work with your ceiling and trim? And how does it look alongside your furniture, artwork and soft furnishings? Once you have selected your colour...select you Farrow & Ball Interior Topcoat
