Farrow & Ball

Pale Powder

No. 204

Pale Powder is a cool, muted blue with a slight green undertone, hex #D5DAD1, and an LRV of 84.8. Its high light reflectance makes it useful for bathrooms, north-facing bedrooms, and narrow corridors where maximising brightness matters. The colour reads as a very pale aqua in strong daylight and shifts toward a soft grey-blue in dimmer conditions.

It works well with Farrow & Ball shades like Pointing and All White for a clean pairing, Shaded White or Joa's White to balance its coolness, and Light Blue or Green Blue for a deeper tonal scheme.

Pale Powder 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.
