How they read
In their own wordsMaritime White is a warm, creamy off-white with a green-grey base that stops it from tipping into yellow. At LRV 72 it is soft rather than bright — an ivory, not a white — and in a bedroom it makes everything feel calmer and slightly older, in the best way.
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.
