What color is Farrow and Ball Nancy's Blushes?
Farrow and Ball Nancy's Blushes 278 is a light, softly saturated pink with a warm blush cast. Its #ecb7b8 value gives it a gentle red-pink appearance rather than a beige neutral or a cool lilac pink. In bright daylight, this shade can read fresh and airy, while lower or warmer light tends to bring out its fuller rosy quality. It suits bedroom walls, a powder room, or painted cabinetry where a noticeable but not overly deep color is wanted. Pair it with warm white trim, pale natural oak, linen upholstery, or muted terracotta accents for a cohesive look.

What are Farrow and Ball Nancy's Blushes undertones?
Nancy’s Blushes reads as a light, soft, clearly pink color with moderate restraint rather than high intensity. In the supplied digital sample, it leans slightly warm, with a faint yellow-red bias that keeps the pink from looking blue or lavender. Farrow & Ball calls it their “truest pink,” which aligns with its visibly straightforward pink main color family rather than suggesting a strong secondary undertone. Warm artificial light may bring out its warmer rosy side, while cool daylight can make it appear a little cleaner and less warm.

LRV of Nancy's Blushes
Nancy's Blushes has an LRV of 55% 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 55%, 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.
