What color is Farrow and Ball Pointing?
Farrow and Ball Pointing 2003 is a very pale cream with a soft yellow-beige cast, closely reflected in its light #f7f1e3 value. It reads warm rather than stark, giving walls a gentle, lightly sunlit appearance without becoming noticeably rich or buttery. In bright daylight, Pointing can appear nearly off-white, while lower or north-facing light is likely to bring out more of its creamy warmth. Use it in bedrooms, hallways, kitchens, or living spaces where a clean white would feel too cool. It pairs naturally with pale wood, woven natural fibres, warm brass, and muted earthy accents.
LRV of Pointing
Pointing has an LRV of 88.19% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all 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 88.19%, 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.
