What color is Farrow and Ball Pale Powder?

Farrow and Ball Pale Powder 204 is a very light, muted grey-green with a soft yellow cast that keeps it from feeling icy. Its low saturation gives walls a gently weathered, chalky appearance rather than a clearly defined pastel look. In bright daylight, Pale Powder can read as a delicate pale green, while lower or cooler light brings out its quiet grey side. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchens where a restrained wash of color is wanted. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, limestone, and brushed nickel for a clean, grounded finish.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 69.96%, 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.
