What color is Farrow and Ball Ammonite?
Farrow and Ball Ammonite 274 is a light, muted grey with a soft beige cast that keeps it from reading cold or stark. Its low saturation gives walls a gentle, chalky appearance, while the #ddd8cf value places it comfortably in the pale neutral range. In north-facing rooms, Ammonite can appear more distinctly grey; warmer daylight and lamplight draw out its subtle sandy undertone. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a quiet backdrop is wanted without the brightness of pure white. Pair it with natural oak, linen upholstery, warm white trim, charcoal details, or aged brass for a grounded, lightly layered interior.

LRV of Ammonite
Ammonite has an LRV of 68.88% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 68.88%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
