Farrow & Ball
Drab
No. 41
It pairs well with Farrow & Ball Pointing or Wimborne White on trim for a clean edge against the warmth. London Stone and Mouse Back work as tonal companions on adjacent walls, while Hague Blue or Pelt can be used sparingly for deeper contrast on doors or built-in joinery.

Drab in Different Light
Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV
54.3LRV 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.
