Farrow & Ball 750ml Exterior Eggshell Elephant's Breath No.229

Elephant's Breath is instantly recognisable as a Farrow & Ball shade, both in name and colour. It's a universally popular mid-tone grey with a subtle lilac undertone, which comes more to the fore in cooler light. Try it in a scheme alongside the darker Charleston Gray and London Clay for an effortlessly cool look.
