What color is Farrow and Ball Mole's Breath?
Farrow and Ball Mole's Breath 276 is a mid-depth, muted gray with a gentle warm cast, reflected in its soft brown-beige undertone. It reads as an earthy neutral rather than a crisp or blue-toned gray, giving walls a grounded, slightly weathered appearance. In bright daylight, this shade can look lighter and more stony, while lower or warmer light brings out its subtle taupe character. Use it on cabinetry, a dining room, or a study where its depth can define the space without turning black or overly dark. Mole's Breath pairs well with pale warm whites, natural oak, aged brass, linen, and charcoal accents.

LRV of Mole's Breath
Mole's Breath has an LRV of 24.07% 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 24.07%, 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.
