What color is Farrow and Ball Lulworth Blue?

Farrow and Ball Lulworth Blue 89 is a light, softened blue with a noticeable grey cast that keeps it from looking sugary or overly bright. Its #a1b8ca value gives it a cool, airy appearance, with enough muted depth to hold its own on full walls. Use it in bedrooms, bathrooms, or a north-facing study where a pale blue can bring gentle definition without becoming stark. It also suits painted cabinetry, especially alongside white marble, brushed nickel, pale oak, or warm off-white trim. Pair Lulworth Blue with chalky whites and soft greiges for a quiet layered scheme, or add charcoal details for clearer contrast.

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 45.23%, 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.
