What color is Farrow and Ball Stirabout?

Farrow and Ball Stirabout 300 is a light, muted neutral with a softly warm, stone-like cast. Its #D9CFC2 tone sits between pale beige and gentle grey, with a faint blush of warmth that keeps it from looking stark. In bright daylight, Stirabout reads as an airy off-white, while lower or north-facing light can bring out its quieter grey-beige side. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a low-contrast backdrop is wanted, and it also makes a restrained choice for painted cabinetry. Pair it with chalky whites, warm oak, linen upholstery, brushed brass, or deeper mushroom and clay accents for a layered, natural-looking scheme.

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 63.31%, 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.
