What color is Farrow and Ball Pavilion Gray?
Farrow and Ball Pavilion Gray 242 is a light, muted gray with a gentle beige cast that keeps it from feeling stark. Its low saturation gives walls a soft, powdery appearance, while the slightly warm base makes it comfortable alongside natural oak, linen, and limestone. In brighter daylight, this shade can read as a pale warm gray; under warmer artificial light, its beige notes become more noticeable. Use Pavilion Gray on living room, bedroom, or hallway walls for a quiet neutral backdrop, or carry it onto cabinetry for a restrained, tonal look. Pair it with off-white trim, aged brass, charcoal details, or deeper mushroom-brown textiles for contrast.

LRV of Pavilion Gray
Pavilion Gray has an LRV of 54.96% 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 54.96%, 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.
