What color is Farrow and Ball Dimpse?
Farrow and Ball Dimpse 277 is a pale, low-saturation gray with a soft beige cast that keeps it from reading stark or icy. Its light value gives walls a gentle, airy backdrop, while the faint warmth suits rooms with natural oak, linen upholstery, limestone, or brushed nickel. In brighter daylight, Dimpse can appear closer to a clean light gray; under warmer lamps, its muted cream-gray undertone becomes more noticeable. It is particularly well suited to living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and painted cabinetry where a quiet neutral is wanted without the sharpness of pure white. Pair it with deeper charcoal, muted olive, warm off-whites, or black accents for definition.

LRV of Dimpse
Dimpse has an LRV of 68.27% 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 68.27%, 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.
