What color is Farrow and Ball Lamp Room Gray?

Farrow and Ball Lamp Room Gray 88 is a light, muted gray with a gentle warm cast, reflected in its soft off-white base and subtle beige-olive undertone. It has enough depth to define a wall without reading dark, making it especially useful in hallways, bedrooms, or living rooms that need a calm neutral backdrop. In cooler daylight, Lamp Room Gray appears more clearly gray, while warmer bulbs can bring out its faintly earthy character. Pair it with chalky whites, natural oak, aged brass, linen, and stone for a layered, lived-in finish. This shade is particularly effective across full walls or on built-in cabinetry where a stark white would feel too sharp.

What are Farrow and Ball Lamp Room Gray undertones?

This is a mid-light, very low-saturation gray that reads close to neutral, with a faint yellowward cast in the supplied digital sample. That bias is too subtle to support a confident, fixed undertone label, so it is better understood as a soft gray rather than a clearly warm or cool gray. Farrow & Ball describes Lamp Room Gray as a traditional mid grey, which fits its muted, balanced overall appearance. Warm artificial light may bring out a slightly softer, warmer impression, while cool daylight can make it appear cleaner and more neutral.

LRV of Lamp Room Gray

Lamp Room Gray has an LRV of 43.7% 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 43.7%, 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.
