Farrow & Ball

Au Lait

No. CB9

Au Lait is a warm off-white with beige undertones that can lean creamier under incandescent lighting. With an LRV of 90.6, it reflects a high amount of light and can reduce shadowing in smaller rooms. It is commonly used on walls and trim where a warmer white is preferred over a cooler architectural white.

For a soft neutral set, it sits with Slipper Satin and Dimity, and it can transition into Mizzle for a muted green-gray. For stronger contrast on accents, Railings or Hague Blue provide darker definition.
