What color is Farrow and Ball De Nimes?

Farrow and Ball De Nimes 299 is a muted blue-green with a medium-dark depth, shown here as #6A7C80. Its subdued grey cast keeps the color from reading overly bright, giving walls a grounded, lived-in look. In daylight, De Nimes can appear cooler and more blue-leaning, while lower or warmer light may draw out its softened green-grey side. It has enough presence for a dining room, study, or bedroom, and can also make kitchen cabinetry feel considered without becoming heavy. Pair it with warm off-whites, pale wood, aged brass, or natural linen to bring out its quieter complexity.

What are Farrow and Ball De Nimes undertones?

De Nimes reads as a midtone, very muted blue-green with a soft gray cast rather than a bright or strongly saturated teal. Within that blue-green main family, the supplied digital sample shows a slight green-leaning bias, though it is subtle and can shift with lighting and surrounding colors. Warm artificial light may make its blue-green character look grayer or a little greener, while cool daylight may make the blue aspect more noticeable.

LRV of De Nimes

De Nimes has an LRV of 18.64% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 18.64%, 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.
