What color is Farrow and Ball Hay?
Farrow and Ball Hay 37 is a light, muted golden beige with a soft yellow cast and a gently earthy feel. Its warmth is clear without becoming bright, giving walls a sun-washed look that sits comfortably between cream and ochre. In strong daylight, Hay can appear lighter and more straw-like, while warmer artificial light draws out its honeyed tones. It suits kitchens, dining rooms, and hallways, especially alongside natural oak, woven linen, aged brass, or terracotta. Use this shade across full walls for a mellow backdrop, or on cabinetry where its understated color can bring warmth to a pale scheme.

LRV of Hay
Hay has an LRV of 57.99% 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 57.99%, 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.
