What color is Farrow and Ball Pelt?

Farrow and Ball Pelt 254 is a deep, muted purple-grey with a noticeable plum cast beneath its charcoal-like depth. Its low-saturation finish keeps the color grounded rather than bright, making it especially effective in rooms that benefit from darker walls, such as dining rooms, studies, or bedrooms. In strong daylight, the violet and dusty mauve notes are more apparent, while evening lighting can make Pelt read closer to a softened near-black. Pair it with pale warm greys, off-white trim, aged brass, dark wood, or natural linen to bring out its layered character. It also has enough depth for painted cabinetry, interior doors, or a single accent wall.

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 6.69%, 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.
