What color is Farrow and Ball Hague Blue?
Farrow and Ball Hague Blue 30 is a deep, muted blue with a noticeable green-grey cast, reflected in its dark #3d4e57 color value. It reads cool and weighty on broad walls, while lower light can pull it closer to charcoal with a blue undertone. In brighter daylight, the green note becomes clearer, giving the shade a weathered, inky character rather than a clean navy look. Use Hague Blue on kitchen cabinetry, a study wall, interior doors, or exterior woodwork, pairing it with soft off-whites, pale stone, aged brass, and warm natural timber.

What are Farrow and Ball Hague Blue undertones?
Hague Blue is a deep, dark, muted blue with a restrained, low-saturation character. In the supplied digital sample, the blue reads with a slight green-leaning bias, though that shift is subtle rather than strong. Farrow & Ball describes Hague Blue as a deep, dark blue with green undertones; visually, that manufacturer-described green influence helps keep the main blue from looking overly purple. Warm artificial light may make its dark, muted quality feel more pronounced, while cool daylight can make the blue and slight green cast easier to notice.

LRV of Hague Blue
Hague Blue 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.
