Farrow & Ball

Lime White

No. 1

Lime White registers an LRV of 86.3, placing it among the brighter off-whites, though its green-gray undertones prevent it from appearing clinical. It leans warm despite the green cast, reading closer to aged plaster or natural limestone than a clean white. The color is well-suited for whole-house use, including hallways, period properties, and rooms with limited natural light.

Old White and Slipper Satin pair closely for trim and ceilings, keeping the palette unified. French Gray provides a measured contrast on lower walls or cabinetry, and Mouse's Back deepens the scheme on accent features.

Lime 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.
