Salon Drab

No.290

A deep chocolate brown

This warm drab has a two-part name combining ‘salon’, the small outer room off a drawing room, with a term that describes a colour as lacking in brightness. The richness of this chocolate brown is instantly appealing, effortlessly creating a modern look or classic 19th century feel. Salon Drab works as a dark accompaniment to both the Red Based and Contemporary Neutrals. 

Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Dark Tones

Complementary white: Dimity

Salon Drab is rated 4.4 out of 5 by 11.

ECO-FRIENDLY AND CHILD-SAFE

Back in 2010, we moved our entire range to an eco-friendly water base that’s low odour, low VOC and child-safe, becoming the first in the industry to do so. Easy to clean without harmful solvents, in tins that can be recycled again and again, our paints help to reduce the environmental impact of redecorating your home.


QUALITY FINISHES

Every one of our paint colours is available in a range of durable interior and exterior paint finishes, each rigorously tested to ensure an exceptional depth of colour and long-lasting finish. For the very best results, we always recommend using a Farrow & Ball Primer & Undercoat – see above for the correct tone for this colour.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great feature to our day room The colours are just as you see on their list . The paints and colours are truly magnificent, the quality and colours are superb and are so superior than their competitors. Love farrow and ball party BT’s and colours.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Experience with F &B Gloss Pleased with the sample pots, chose salon drab, have just had the exterior doors of my house painted in gloss, very smart, looks lighter than Matt sample, more like a dark khaki than dark choc brown. Paint still slightly tacky after 24 hours

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This was the one! Tried other colours but this was just right for our stone external sills and plinth, replacing patchy black, looks good against creamy ochre limewashed walls.Easy to use, good coverage.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The perfect colour! I had an old chest of drawers and some left over Salon Drab and I’m over the moon with the result! It’s such a warm, classy colour.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Just a taster! Bought a sample pot to paint a sideboard, perfect finish, colour as stated. F & B paint is the best.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love, love, love Used it to add interest to a bathroom previously painted in strong white and pavilion grey. Did not use undercoat and took 3 good coats to get coverage but love the end product. Needed to paint ceiling as well as walls due to slope of ceiling resulting in a warm and atmospheric room.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Surprise Very good - surprising results - though one tine was a nicer colour than the other. One tin was more brown. I preferred the slightly greyer one. Have to be careful to get enough paint all in one go!
