Pigeon
Farrow & Ball
No. 25
Pigeon is a muted gray-green with a blue undertone, one of those colors that refuses to settle into a single family and is more useful for it. It has become a standard for kitchen cabinetry, pantries, and exterior joinery, where its softness reads as established rather than newly painted. It pairs well with creamy whites, marble, and aged brass.

What is the Benjamin Moore equivalent of Pigeon?
The closest Benjamin Moore match for Pigeon is Heather Gray 2139-40 (#99A196). No cross-brand match is exact, because each brand mixes its own pigment formulas. Always confirm with a physical sample before specifying a substitute.
Is Pigeon warm or cool?
Pigeon is cool-leaning but close to balanced, with gray-green and blue undertones trading places as the light changes. Its LRV is approximately 34, a solid mid-tone with enough depth for cabinetry that still works on walls. North-facing rooms pull it bluer and moodier; warm southern light brings out the green. Sample generously, because few colors shift as much between exposures.
Why does Pigeon look different on screen than on the wall?
Screens emit light while paint reflects it, so a hex code cannot capture how lighting, sheen, and surrounding colors shift paint in a real room. Treat #9A9F94 as accurate for digital design work, and use physical samples for final approval. Farrow & Ball does not publish official hex codes, so this value is a close third-party approximation.
What LRV does Pigeon have?
Pigeon has a Light Reflectance Value of approximately 34, meaning it reflects about 34% of visible light. That mid-range depth reads as a true color on the wall without going dark.
