What color is Farrow and Ball Parma Gray?
Farrow and Ball Parma Gray 27 is a light, muted blue-gray with a softly cool cast. Its pale #b2bfc5 tone has enough gray to keep the blue from feeling bright or sugary, making it a measured choice for broad wall areas. In daylight, the blue character is likely to read more clearly, while lower or warmer light can draw attention to its gray side. Use it in bedrooms, bathrooms, or studies where a quiet, airy backdrop is wanted. Pair Parma Gray with crisp white trim, pale natural wood, brushed nickel, or deeper charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of Parma Gray
Parma Gray has an LRV of 50.17% 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 50.17%, 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.
