Farrow & Ball

Orange Coloured White

No. W5

Orange Coloured White by Farrow & Ball is a high-reflectance neutral with a noticeable warm, orange-leaning undertone that separates it from cooler whites. Its LRV of 83.9 places it among the brighter options in the range, reflecting most available light and working well on ceilings and large wall areas where light distribution matters. The warmth is restrained enough to avoid reading overtly orange in most lighting.

It pairs naturally with Pointing, Dimity, Joas White, Slipper Satin, and Setting Plaster for tonal continuity across connected rooms.
