What color is Farrow and Ball Dimity?
Farrow and Ball Dimity 2008 is a pale, warm off-white with a soft beige cast and a faint blush of peach visible in its #eee3d3 color value. It has a light, low-saturation appearance that keeps walls bright without reading as stark white. In sunny rooms, Dimity can look creamy and gently sun-warmed, while cooler daylight may bring out its quieter beige undertone. Use it on living room or bedroom walls alongside natural oak, linen upholstery, chalky ceramics, and muted clay or tan accents. This shade also suits cabinetry or trim where a softer alternative to clean white is wanted.

What are Farrow and Ball Dimity undertones?
Dimity reads as a very light, softly muted off-white with a gentle beige-yellow cast rather than a crisp white. In the supplied digital sample, the undertone appears as a subtle warm yellow-beige bias with a faint rosy note, though it is restrained and can shift with surrounding light. Farrow & Ball describes Dimity as a very pale taupe, a description that aligns with its softened, slightly earthy off-white character. Warm artificial light may make it look creamier and warmer, while cool daylight may make the beige cast appear cleaner and less pronounced.

LRV of Dimity
Dimity has an LRV of 77.85% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of 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 77.85%, 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.
