What color is Farrow and Ball Matchstick?
Farrow and Ball Matchstick 2013 is a light, muted beige with a clear creamy warmth and a soft sand-colored cast. Its low-saturation appearance keeps it from reading too yellow, giving walls a gentle, lightly aged neutral finish rather than a crisp white look. In bright daylight, Matchstick can appear pale and airy; under warmer lamps, its beige and biscuit notes become more noticeable. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a warmer alternative to off-white is wanted, and it can also make painted cabinetry feel understated rather than stark. Pair it with natural oak, linen upholstery, brushed brass, and chalky whites or deeper brown-based neutrals.

LRV of Matchstick
Matchstick has an LRV of 67.57% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 67.57%, 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.
