What color is Farrow and Ball Skimming Stone?
Farrow and Ball Skimming Stone 241 is a pale, softened beige-gray with a noticeably warm cast drawn from its muted cream and taupe base. Its low saturation keeps it light and understated, making it a gentle alternative to stark white on walls, ceilings, or built-in cabinetry. In bright daylight, this shade can read as a light warm neutral, while lower or cooler light brings forward its subtle grayness. Pair it with natural oak, linen upholstery, brushed brass, and chalky whites for a layered, quietly tonal room.

What are Farrow and Ball Skimming Stone undertones?
Skimming Stone reads as a light, highly muted beige-neutral with a soft, slightly warm cast. In the supplied digital sample, the subtle color bias leans orange, with faint red and yellow influence, though this is low-confidence because the color is so desaturated. Farrow & Ball’s official description notes its origin in a 19th-century plaster colour, but does not specify an undertone. Warm artificial light may bring out its gentle warmth, while cool daylight can make it appear more neutral and slightly less creamy.

LRV of Skimming Stone
Skimming Stone has an LRV of 68.14% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 68.14%, 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.
