What color is Farrow and Ball Selvedge?
Farrow and Ball Selvedge 306 is a muted blue-grey with a cool, gently weathered appearance. Its medium depth keeps it noticeable on a wall without reading as overly dark, while the softened grey cast prevents the blue from becoming sharp or icy. In bright daylight, Selvedge can look cleaner and more blue; under warmer artificial light, its grey undertone becomes more apparent. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, studies, and painted cabinetry where a restrained hit of color is wanted. Pair it with soft off-whites, charcoal accents, pale oak, brushed nickel, or natural linen for a grounded finish.

LRV of Selvedge
Selvedge has an LRV of 25.41% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 25.41%, 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.
