Every room, each color

The difference

Read from the numbers

Lamp Room Gray leans cool where Agreeable Gray reads warm. Lamp Room Gray is a gray, Agreeable Gray a beige.

How they read

In their own words

Lamp Room Gray is what Farrow & Ball calls its 'most traditional blue grey' — a mid-light grey with a soft blue cast that feels older and more settled than a modern cool grey. It takes its name from the rooms where oil lamps were once trimmed and stored.

Agreeable Gray (SW 7029) is the color that turned 'greige' into a household word. With an LRV of about 60 it sits right in the comfortable middle — light enough to keep a room open, deep enough to read as a true color rather than an off-white.
