Farrow & Ball Lamp Room Gray No. 88

Farrow & Ball - Lamp Room Gray No.88

"Lamp Room Gray" is our most classic blue-grey shade, with its origins dating back to a time when the white walls of a room had been subtly stained by the trimming of lamp wicks. This color imparts a softer, more gently lived-in appearance compared to "Pavilion Gray," all while maintaining a timeless quality. Surprisingly, it exhibits a strong presence in smaller rooms, yet it has the ability to soften its appearance in larger, well-lit spaces.
