What color is Farrow and Ball Blackened?
Farrow and Ball Blackened 2011 is a very pale grey with a soft, muted cast that keeps it from reading as stark white. Its #dddbd9 value suggests a gently cool, low-saturation neutral, with only subtle shifts between grey and off-white as daylight changes. In bright north-facing rooms, it can appear cleaner and more silvery, while warmer evening light may bring out a quieter, softened warmth. Use it on walls or kitchen cabinetry when you want a light backdrop with more definition than white. Pair Blackened with natural oak, brushed nickel, charcoal details, and textured linen for a restrained, layered finish.
LRV of Blackened
Blackened has an LRV of 70.98% 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 70.98%, 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.
