What color is Farrow and Ball Mouse's Back?
Farrow and Ball Mouse's Back 40 is a muted, mid-tone brown with a noticeable grey cast and a softly weathered appearance. Its #998976 value reads warm without becoming golden, sitting close to taupe in daylight and appearing a little deeper in low or north-facing light. Use it on living room walls, a study, or fitted cabinetry where a grounded neutral is wanted without the starkness of true grey. Mouse's Back pairs naturally with chalky off-whites, dark brown woods, aged brass, linen, and stone finishes. On exterior woodwork or masonry details, this shade can give a restrained, earthy contrast against pale render or cream trim.

LRV of Mouse's Back
Mouse's Back has an LRV of 26.25% 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 26.25%, 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.
