What color is Farrow and Ball London Stone?
Farrow and Ball London Stone 6 is a muted mid-tone beige with a noticeable warm brown cast and a soft, slightly greyed finish. Its restrained saturation keeps it from reading too golden, giving walls a grounded, plaster-like appearance rather than a creamy one. In bright daylight, London Stone can look lighter and sandier, while lower or north-facing light draws out its deeper taupe-brown side. It suits living rooms, hallways, and studies where a calm neutral needs more substance than off-white. Pair it with chalky whites, weathered oak, linen upholstery, aged brass, or charcoal accents for a layered, natural-looking scheme.

What are Farrow and Ball London Stone undertones?
London Stone reads as a mid-light, muted warm neutral in the beige-to-tan family, with a soft, low-saturation appearance rather than a strong or vivid color. In the supplied digital sample, it leans orange with slight red and yellow bias, which gives the beige its warm, earthy cast. Farrow & Ball describes it as an accent for its Warm Neutrals, which aligns with the visible warmth of the main beige family rather than identifying a separate undertone. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its yellow-orange warmth, while cool daylight can make it appear more restrained and slightly grayer by comparison.

LRV of London Stone
London Stone has an LRV of 38.46% 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 38.46%, 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.
