Farrow & Ball

Dibber

No. 312

Dibber is an earthy brown with a subtle green undertone that keeps it from reading as a straightforward warm neutral. With an LRV of 46.5, it falls in the mid-range, absorbing enough light to feel grounded while still reflecting enough to avoid heaviness in moderately lit rooms. It suits kitchens, studies, and living spaces where a muted, natural tone is needed.

Old White or Savage Ground pair well for a tonal, low-contrast scheme. Green Smoke reinforces the green undertone, while Hague Blue provides a strong complementary counterpoint for trim or accents.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
