Farrow & Ball

Farrow's White

No. 9812

Farrow's White is a warm off-white with a faint yellow-grey undertone that prevents it from looking clinical or cold. At an LRV of 89.4 it is one of the higher-reflectance options in the range, so it will maximise available light in any room. It is commonly used on ceilings, trim, and full walls in spaces where a clean but not stark white is needed -- north-facing rooms benefit from its warmth in particular.

It pairs naturally with Farrow & Ball colours such as Pointing, Wimborne White, Skimming Stone, Elephant's Breath, and Railings for contrast.
