How they read
In their own wordsLamp Room Gray is what Farrow & Ball calls its 'most traditional blue grey' — a mid-light grey with a soft blue cast that feels older and more settled than a modern cool grey. It takes its name from the rooms where oil lamps were once trimmed and stored.
Nantucket Gray is a Historical Colors grey-green — Benjamin Moore likens it to 'fog settling over grassy fields'. Despite the name it is more sage than grey: a soft, yellow-based green that reads as a neutral once it is on cabinetry.
