Farrow & Ball

Double Cream

No. 9907

Double Cream is a warm neutral with subtle yellow undertones that lean toward soft beige rather than outright yellow. At an LRV of 79, it reflects a significant amount of light and reads as bright and open in most conditions. It functions well in living rooms, kitchens, and bedrooms where a warm but restrained backdrop is needed.

Farrow & Ball White Tie and New White pair closely for a tonal, low-contrast scheme. For more definition, Green Smoke or Hague Blue introduce cooler depth. Pale Hound and Matchstick sit in a similar warm family and support a layered neutral palette.

Double Cream in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
