Farrow & Ball 5L Exterior Masonry Jitney No.293

Jitney takes its name from the Hampton Jitney, the bus that whisks New Yorkers away from the stifling city and towards the sea air of the Hamptons during the summer months. This beachy destination inspired the colour of Jitney – a relaxed and effortlessly cool sandy brown.
