Farrow & Ball 2.5L Exterior Eggshell Purbeck Stone No.275

Purbeck Stone takes its name and colour from the Isle of Purbeck, near Farrow & Ball's home on the south coast of England. Part of the Easy Neutrals group, it's not too warm and not too cool, making it incredibly easy to pair with many shades from the Farrow & Ball palette, but particularly with Cornforth White, Wevet or Ammonite.
