What color is Farrow and Ball Stoke?

Farrow and Ball Stoke CC7 is a muted mid-tone grey with a soft, warm taupe cast. Its low-saturation finish keeps it grounded and understated, reading as a gentle stone grey in bright daylight and a little deeper and browner under warm artificial light. Stoke suits living rooms, hallways, and bedrooms where a neutral needs more presence than an off-white without becoming dark. Pair it with chalky white trim, natural oak, aged brass, linen, and charcoal details for a layered, material-led look. It is especially effective across larger wall areas or on cabinetry where its quiet depth can be appreciated.

What are Farrow and Ball Stoke undertones?

Stoke CC7 reads as a midtone, low-saturation neutral with a soft grey-beige overall character. In the supplied digital sample, the colour leans very slightly toward yellow, but the bias is weak enough that it is best viewed as near-neutral rather than assigned a firm undertone. No manufacturer undertone description was available to confirm or refine that reading. Warm artificial light may bring out a little more of its muted beige warmth, while cool daylight can make it appear greyer and more reserved.

LRV of Stoke

Stoke has an LRV of 28.16% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?

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 28.16%, 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.
