Every room, each color

The difference

Read from the numbers

Both read warm. Both belong to the beige family.

How they read

In their own words

Clay is a Little Greene mid-stone neutral with more ochre than its predecessors — warm, sandy and quietly elegant. It is the colour of dried river clay: not quite beige, not quite yellow.

Savage Ground is a warm, sandy beige from Farrow & Ball's archive — a yellow-leaning neutral that reads as sunlit rather than safe. It is the color of a stone floor in a Provençal kitchen, and it makes a room feel warmer without asking anyone to notice why.
