What color is Farrow and Ball Wine Dark?

Farrow and Ball Wine Dark 308 is a muted blue-grey with a cool, slate-like cast and a quietly substantial depth. Its softened saturation keeps it from reading as bright blue, while the grey content gives it a composed, architectural look. In daylight, this shade can show its blue character more clearly; under warm artificial light, it tends to settle into a deeper, smokier grey-blue. Use it on cabinetry, a study wall, or interior doors where its density can define the room without appearing black. Wine Dark pairs well with chalky off-whites, pale stone, brushed nickel, dark stained wood, and natural linen.

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 12.97%, 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.
