What are Farrow and Ball Peignoir undertones?

Peignoir is a light, very muted pink-beige with a soft, low-saturation appearance. In the supplied digital sample, it leans subtly toward red and yellow, which can read as a faint warm blush within its pale neutral base, though that bias is slight. Farrow & Ball describes the colour as having a romantic feel, but the official text provided does not identify a specific undertone. Warm artificial light may bring out its gentle pink-beige warmth, while cool daylight can make it appear paler and more neutral.

LRV of Peignoir

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 60.04%, 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.
