What color is Farrow and Ball String?
Farrow and Ball String 8 is a light, muted beige with a clear warm, sandy cast. Its #ddcdae color value reads as softly golden rather than stark cream, with enough beige depth to hold its own on large walls. In bright daylight, String can appear airy and lightly sun-warmed; under evening lamps, its tan notes become more noticeable. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a gentle neutral backdrop is wanted without moving into grey. Pair it with off-white trim, natural oak, woven linen, and deeper brown or clay-toned accents for a grounded palette.

LRV of String
String has an LRV of 61.79% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 61.79%, 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.
