Farrow & Ball
Pitch Blue
No. 220
The violet lean distinguishes it from straightforward blues and gives it a slightly dusty quality. Farrow & Ball shades such as Wimborne White, Pointing, and Purbeck Stone offer warm contrast, while Stiffkey Blue and Elephant's Breath provide tonal continuity.

Pitch Blue 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
42.6LRV 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.
