What color is Farrow and Ball Old White?
Farrow and Ball Old White 4 is a muted, light beige with a softly warm cast and a gentle greyed quality that keeps it from reading overly creamy. Its low saturation gives walls a settled, chalky appearance rather than a crisp white finish. In bright daylight, this shade can look pale and airy, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its beige and subtle tan notes. Use it in living rooms, bedrooms, or hallways where a quiet neutral backdrop is needed, or on cabinetry for a softer alternative to bright white. Old White pairs naturally with aged wood, linen, stone, warm grey, and deeper brown accents.

LRV of Old White
Old White has an LRV of 54.93% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 54.93%, 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.
