Joa:
Salon Drab is the perfect shade for a traditional study. Its rich tone feels as if it has been plucked straight from a Georgian cottage, lending a serious air to the room. However it is also equally suitable for a modern media room, when used on both walls and ceiling to create a cocoon-like atmosphere.
Charlotte:
Salon Drab will look great in a formal dining room, I would add Yeabridge Green to the woodwork for extra interest. Being a traditional 19th-century colour, Salon Drab works well in period homes, but in a modern house it suddenly takes on a contemporary air.
How to use it...
1.
Joa:
Salon Drab is a true chocolatey brown - best used on walls, with a fairly strong red-based neutral like Oxford Stone on the woodwork. However it is also a great accent colour, which could be used on floors or furniture with all the warm Farrow & Ball tones. I would however avoid using it with blues and greys.

Charlotte:
As Joa says, red-based neutrals like Dimity really suit Salon Drab and will create a sophisticated look. I love to use it with accent colours like Vardo and Yeabridge Green - maybe on a piece of furniture.
