Farrow & Ball

Pointing

No. 2003

Pointing is a warm off-white from Farrow & Ball with soft red and yellow undertones that give it a distinctly creamy cast rather than a stark or clinical finish. Its hex value is #F3EFE3 and its LRV of 93.7 means it reflects nearly all available light, making it useful for ceilings, trim, and full-wall applications in rooms of any size. Because it leans warm, it reads particularly well in north-facing spaces.

Pointing coordinates cleanly with White Tie, Dimity, Oxford Stone, London Clay, and Joa's White without introducing noticeable color tension.

Pointing 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.
