Farrow & Ball

Lamp Room Gray

No. 88

Lamp Room Gray is a mid-tone cool gray with a subtle blue undertone that keeps it from reading flat or overly warm. At an LRV of 69.2, it reflects enough light to maintain openness in a room while still registering as a definite color on walls. It works well in hallways, living rooms, and north-facing spaces where a composed neutral is needed without heaviness.

It layers naturally with Pavilion Gray and Blackened for tonal depth, while Strong White or Wimborne White can handle trim. For contrast, Railings provides a firm anchor on doors or built-in joinery.

Lamp Room Gray 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 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.
