Farrow & Ball

Cabbage White

No. 269

Cabbage White is a pale white with subtle blue undertones that give it a cooler, fresher appearance than standard warm whites. With an LRV of 92.3, it reflects a very high amount of light and can maximize brightness in low-light or north-facing rooms. It is commonly used on walls, ceilings, and trim where a clean white with slight color depth is preferred.

For a tonal cool palette, it works alongside Farrow & Ball's Borrowed Light and Skylight, while deeper shades like Hague Blue or Down Pipe provide contrast on doors or built-ins. Soft grays such as Dimpse also pair naturally.
