Settled, side by side

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.

Stonington Gray is Benjamin Moore's most balanced light grey — neither warm nor cool, with a faint green-blue base that keeps it from going purple, the failing of so many greys. At LRV 59 it is light enough for a small room and grey enough to read as a color against white trim.
