Farrow & Ball

Off-White

No. 3

Off-White by Farrow & Ball is a neutral white with grey undertones that give it a slightly cool, chalky quality compared to warmer whites in the range. Its hex code is #DBD4BF and it has an LRV of 83.1, so it reflects a high amount of light while maintaining a soft, grounded appearance that avoids the clinical feel of a pure white. It works well on walls, trim, and ceilings in bedrooms, living rooms, and kitchens.

Compatible Farrow & Ball colors include Pointing, Shadow White, Strong White, Hague Blue, and Pale Powder for balanced tonal schemes.
