What color is Farrow and Ball Red Earth?

Farrow and Ball Red Earth 64 is a warm, earthy clay tone with a softened red base and noticeable terracotta-pink cast. Its medium depth keeps it present on a wall without reading as overly dark, while the muted saturation gives it a naturally weathered look. In bright daylight, Red Earth can appear lighter and rosier; under warmer artificial light, its baked-earth character becomes more pronounced. It suits dining rooms, hallways, and kitchens, especially on cabinetry or a single architectural accent such as a fireplace surround. Pair it with creamy off-whites, natural oak, aged brass, linen, and deep olive or charcoal details for contrast.

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 27.59%, 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.
