Farrow & Ball

House White

No. 2012

House White by Farrow & Ball is a warm white with subtle yellow undertones, sitting at #EEE4C8. It reads as an off-white with a creamy cast rather than a stark or clinical white, which makes it more forgiving under different lighting conditions. With an LRV of 89.5 it reflects a large amount of light and works well as a whole-room color in living rooms, kitchens, and bedrooms.

It pairs naturally with Pointing, White Tie, and Pale Powder, and can be contrasted against deeper shades like Hague Blue or Green Smoke.
