What color is Farrow and Ball Dorset Cream?
Farrow and Ball Dorset Cream 68 is a light, warm cream with a clear golden-beige cast, reflected in its softly sunlit #efd5a1 tone. It has more color than an off-white, so it reads as a gentle wall color rather than disappearing into the background. In daylight, Dorset Cream can appear airy and buttery; under warm evening lamps, its yellow warmth becomes more noticeable. It suits living rooms, kitchens, and north-facing spaces that need a little visual warmth. Pair it with natural oak, aged brass, linen upholstery, and muted earthy greens or deeper brown accents for a grounded finish.

LRV of Dorset Cream
Dorset Cream has an LRV of 67.72% 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 67.72%, 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.
