Farrow & Ball

Setting Plaster

No. 231

Setting Plaster by Farrow & Ball is a muted pink-beige with warm earthy undertones. Its LRV of 76.9 means it reflects a good amount of light, so it reads as open and airy in most rooms without washing out in strong daylight. The pink is restrained -- more plaster-like than rosy -- with enough yellow in the mix to keep it from feeling cool.

It works on full walls in living rooms or bedrooms where a warm neutral with some color is needed. Pairing it with Pointing or Wimborne White keeps things light, while Dead Salmon, Olive, and Jitney provide grounded contrast.

Setting Plaster 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.
