What color is Farrow and Ball Manor House Gray?
Farrow and Ball Manor House Gray 265 is a muted mid-light gray with a subtle warm cast, shown here as #a2a29d. Its low saturation keeps the color quiet and slightly softened rather than crisp or blue-leaning. On walls, Manor House Gray can give living rooms, halls, and bedrooms a settled gray backdrop without making them feel stark. Pair it with chalky whites, natural oak, aged brass, linen, and charcoal details for a restrained layered scheme. It is also a practical choice for cabinetry or exterior trim where a gentle, weathered-looking gray is wanted.

What are Farrow and Ball Manor House Gray undertones?
Manor House Gray appears as a mid-light, very low-saturation grey with a clean, near-neutral character rather than a strongly warm or cool cast. The supplied digital sample has a slight yellowward bias, but it is subtle enough that the undertone is not clear-cut from the HEX value alone. Farrow & Ball describes it as a “definite grey” that retains its colour in all lights, which aligns with its visibly straightforward grey main family. Warm artificial light may make its faint yellowward bias more noticeable, while cool daylight can make it read a little cleaner and more neutral.

LRV of Manor House Gray
Manor House Gray has an LRV of 36% 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 36%, 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.
