What color is Farrow and Ball Hazy?

Farrow and Ball Hazy CC6 is a light, muted blue-grey with a soft, misted quality rather than a crisp coastal-blue look. Its cool cast is clear in daylight, where the greyed blue can appear slightly silvery and understated. In warmer artificial light, Hazy reads gentler and less icy while retaining its calm blue character. Use it across bedroom or bathroom walls for a quiet wash of color, or on cabinetry where its restrained tone can give painted joinery definition without making it dominant. Pair it with chalky off-whites, charcoal details, pale oak, and brushed nickel or aged brass for a considered finish.

What are Farrow and Ball Hazy undertones?

Hazy CC6 reads as a mid-light, very muted blue with a soft greyed character rather than a clear or vivid blue. In the supplied digital sample, the blue direction appears to have a slight green lean, though that bias is subtle and should not be treated as a fixed undertone of the paint itself. Because no official manufacturer description is available here, there is no stated undertone to attribute to Farrow & Ball. Warm artificial light may make its greyed quality feel a little softer, while cool daylight can make the blue cast appear somewhat clearer.

LRV of Hazy

Hazy has an LRV of 50.95% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 50.95%, 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.
