What color is Farrow and Ball Elephant's Breath?
Farrow and Ball Elephant's Breath 229 is a muted light greige with a gentle beige cast and soft gray restraint. Its low-saturation, mid-light appearance keeps walls from reading stark, while the warm pinkish-taupe undertone adds a little depth to the neutral base. In sunlit rooms, this shade can appear more creamy and beige; cooler daylight or shadow tends to draw out its quieter gray side. Use it across living room or bedroom walls with natural oak, linen upholstery, aged brass, and off-white trim, or apply it to cabinetry for a subdued alternative to bright white.

LRV of Elephant's Breath
Elephant's Breath has an LRV of 53.62% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 53.62%, 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.
