What color is Farrow and Ball Stone Blue?
Farrow and Ball Stone Blue 86 is a muted blue with a noticeable grey cast, reading as a soft blue-green rather than a bright primary blue. Its medium depth gives walls clear color without making a room feel overly dark. In daylight, the #7997a1 tone can appear cooler and slightly airier, while lower or warmer light brings forward its subdued grey character. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, and built-in cabinetry where a calm but defined color is wanted. Pair Stone Blue with chalky off-whites, weathered oak, brushed nickel, or warm natural linen to bring out its restrained, mineral-like quality.

LRV of Stone Blue
Stone Blue has an LRV of 27.72% 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 27.72%, 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.
