Farrow & Ball

Cornforth White

No. 228

Cornforth White by Farrow & Ball is a muted grey with warm undertones that keep it from reading as cold or clinical. At hex #CFCBC4, it sits between a true grey and a greige, leaning slightly warm in most lighting conditions. With an LRV of 79.7, it reflects a high amount of light and works well in north-facing rooms or spaces with limited natural light.

It layers cleanly with Ammonite and Strong White for a tonal grey scheme. For contrast, Railings or Off-Black can anchor trim and joinery. Sage-toned colors like Vert de Terre offer a restrained complementary pairing.
