What color is Farrow and Ball Tanner's Brown?
Farrow and Ball Tanner's Brown 255 is a deep, muted brown with a strong charcoal-grey cast. Its low-saturation character keeps it from reading overly warm, though the slight red-brown undertone prevents it from feeling flat or blue. In bright natural light, this shade can appear like a softened dark grey, while lower light brings out its earthy brown depth. It suits libraries, dining rooms, cabinetry, and exterior joinery where a near-black alternative would feel too stark. Pair it with warm off-whites, natural oak, aged brass, and textured stone for a grounded, material-rich look.

LRV of Tanner's Brown
Tanner's Brown has an LRV of 7% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 7%, 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.
