What color is Farrow and Ball Oxford Stone?
Farrow and Ball Oxford Stone 264 is a light, muted beige with a clear warm cast, sitting between soft sand and pale putty. Its low-saturation finish keeps it from reading overly yellow, while the subtle peachy-brown undertone gives it more presence than a plain off-white. In bright daylight, this color can appear airy and lightly sun-washed; in evening light, it takes on a deeper, earthier beige character. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and cabinetry where a gentle neutral is wanted without a stark contrast. Pair Oxford Stone with chalky whites, warm greige, natural oak, linen upholstery, aged brass, and stone or terracotta details.

What are Farrow and Ball Oxford Stone undertones?
Oxford Stone appears as a light, muted beige-taupe with an orange-leaning warmth and low saturation. In the supplied digital sample, its undertone reads as a relative mix of soft red and yellow bias within the warm neutral family, rather than a cool grey or green cast. Farrow & Ball describes it as a “classic dark taupe,” which fits its overall neutral-taupe character, though the provided hex sample looks lighter than that wording may suggest. Warm artificial light may bring out its beige and peachy warmth, while cool daylight can make it look more restrained and taupe-leaning.

LRV of Oxford Stone
Oxford Stone has an LRV of 56.08% 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 56.08%, 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.
