How Light Blue behaves on a wall

Our estimate, worked out from the hex colour, puts the light reflectance value of this Farrow & Ball shade at about 49.5; Farrow & Ball's own figure may differ. At an estimated LRV of 49.5 this sits mid-scale — dark enough to hold its own against white trim, light enough not to close a room in. Mid-tones shift the most between daylight and lamplight, so check it at both ends of the day. For trim that reads as a clear edge rather than a smudge, aim about 30 LRV points away in either direction — under LRV 20 or over LRV 80. Its red and blue channels are within a few points of each other, so it has no undertone worth naming — it takes its cast from whatever it sits beside. Order by the code, not the name, and put a test patch on the wall before you commit — a screen cannot show you how this shade behaves in your own light.
