What color is Farrow and Ball Dix Blue?
Farrow and Ball Dix Blue 82 is a softened blue-green with a noticeable grey cast, sitting at a light-to-mid depth rather than reading as a crisp pastel. Its muted mix of blue and green makes it especially suited to rooms that need color without a sharp, high-contrast finish. In cool daylight, Dix Blue can appear more blue-grey, while warmer artificial light may bring out its gentle green side. Try it on kitchen cabinetry, a panelled hallway, or bedroom walls alongside warm white trim, pale oak, linen, and brushed nickel. It also pairs well with deeper charcoal accents and creamy off-whites that keep its subdued character in view.

LRV of Dix Blue
Dix Blue has an LRV of 41% 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 41%, 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.
