Farrow & Ball

Joa's White

No. 226

Joas White is a warm off-white with a taupe-beige base and a faint red undertone that keeps it from reading too cool. With an LRV of 81.6, it reflects a high amount of light and can work as a full-room wall color or ceiling shade, particularly in north-facing spaces where its warmth helps offset cooler daylight. It reads more substantial than a plain white but stays light enough for smaller rooms.

Farrow and Ball colors that pair well include London Stone, Oxford Stone, Slipper Satin, Light Blue, and Pigeon, covering both tonal and contrast options.

Joa's 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.
