What color is Farrow and Ball Eating Room Red?
Farrow and Ball Eating Room Red 43 is a medium-dark red with a softened, earthy cast rather than a bright scarlet finish. Its #8f4e4d color value reads as a muted brick-rose red, with enough brown-grey restraint to feel grounded on large wall areas. In daylight, the shade can appear clearer and slightly rosier, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its deeper red-brown character. Eating Room Red suits dining rooms, libraries, entryways, and painted cabinetry where a substantial color is wanted without going too dark. Pair it with warm off-whites, aged brass, natural oak, or charcoal-toned details for a composed, material-led scheme.

What are Farrow and Ball Eating Room Red undertones?
Eating Room Red reads as a midtone, softly muted red with clear color presence rather than a bright, sharp finish. In the supplied digital sample, it leans slightly warm, with a subtle yellow influence that gives the red a brownish, earthy cast. Farrow & Ball describes it as a rich burgundy, which fits its visibly deepened red character, though the sample does not read as an especially dark wine red. Warm artificial light may bring forward its warmer red-brown side, while cool daylight can make the red appear a little less warm and more subdued.

LRV of Eating Room Red
Eating Room Red has an LRV of 12.2% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 12.2%, 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.
