Down Pipe?
(Just Google’s and apparently as far as f and b is concerned in 2020 it’s ammonite 🤷‍♀️)

Elephants breath 😂😂 who thinks these up

Apparently this is Ammonite

Farrow and Ball Ammonite

Featured snippet from the web:

A naturally understated grey
Ammonite is named after the treasured fossils often found on the Dorset coast. It has a fantastically understated quality, and sits effortlessly with our Easy Neutrals. Neither too warm nor too cool, its subtle grey tone creates a hushed and calming feel in homes both old and new.

So pale grey then.

I remember someone on here who had just had her nails painted a beautiful shade of... ‘my chihuahua bites’. Lord alone knows what colour that was!

I’d love the name colours...

I like Farrow and Ball Dimpse

My hall, stairs and landing have been natural hessian for 4 years. We've just repainted it... In natural hessian!

I just like it. I wasn't aware that it was (used to be) paint du jour!

If that was about 6 weeks ago then I think that was me with a different user name! To my very unimaginative eye it looks like an orangey red. Maybe that's the colour your nails would look after being bitten ...

I'm currently painting my kitchen cupboards ammonite Blush
I can't say I feel like I'm on the Dorset coast though....and my home is far from hushed!

Beige.

Obv.

I painted a few rooms in ammonite around four years ago and I love it. In my next property I think I might be a little more financially restrained and get a Dulux colour match and then I can paint the whole property with it.

If a particular popular budget DIY Facebook group is anything to go by, “grey that doesn’t look blue” is still very popular, which I guess Ammonite is but you’d be crucified for suggested F&B on there.
