What color is Farrow and Ball Kittiwake?
Farrow and Ball Kittiwake 307 is a muted blue-grey with a soft, weathered cast rather than a bright coastal blue. Its grey base keeps the color grounded, while the blue becomes clearer in daylight and can look slightly cooler under crisp artificial lighting. It has enough depth for kitchen cabinetry, a study, or a hallway, yet remains light enough to use across walls in a well-lit bedroom. Pair Kittiwake with chalky whites, pale stone, brushed nickel, or natural oak to emphasize its restrained character. For more contrast, deep charcoal or inky navy details give this shade a cleaner, more architectural edge.

LRV of Kittiwake
Kittiwake has an LRV of 39.08% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 39.08%, 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.
