What color is Farrow and Ball Worsted?
Farrow and Ball Worsted 284 is a muted mid-tone grey with a soft, slightly warm cast that keeps it from reading cold or blue. Its low-saturation appearance gives walls a settled, gently weathered look, especially in rooms with natural wood or stone. In bright daylight, this shade can appear lighter and more silvery, while evening light tends to bring forward its warmer beige-grey notes. Worsted is particularly well suited to living rooms, bedrooms, and cabinetry where a calm, grounded neutral is wanted without using white or deep charcoal. Pair it with chalky off-whites, aged brass, linen upholstery, oak, and darker brown accents for a layered interior.

LRV of Worsted
Worsted has an LRV of 35.25% 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 35.25%, 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.
