Farrow & Ball

Great White

No. 2006

Great White by Farrow & Ball is a soft off-white with a faint pink undertone that keeps it from reading too cool or stark. With an LRV of 87.8, it reflects a large amount of light and works well on walls and ceilings in rooms of any size, including hallways and north-facing living areas. The warmth is subtle enough that it functions as a near-neutral, sitting comfortably alongside colors like Slipper Satin, Ammonite, Cornforth White, Dove Tale, and Skimming Stone.

It holds steady under both natural and artificial light without shifting noticeably.

Great White 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.
