What color is Farrow and Ball Tallow?
Farrow and Ball Tallow 203 is a very pale, sun-warmed cream with a noticeable peachy blush beneath its soft off-white surface. Its high lightness keeps rooms feeling open, while the warm undertone prevents it from reading stark or icy. In bright daylight, Tallow can appear almost creamy white; under warm evening lamps, its gentle biscuit and apricot notes become more apparent. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and softly lit hallways, especially on full walls where its subtle color can breathe. Pair it with natural oak, aged brass, linen, terracotta pottery, or muted olive and dusty blue accents for contrast.

LRV of Tallow
Tallow has an LRV of 86.57% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all 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 86.57%, 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.
