Farrow & Ball

School House White

No. 291

School House White is a soft off-white from Farrow & Ball that leans toward beige rather than pure white. At an LRV of 87.1 it is highly reflective and brings generous brightness to any room without the starkness of a clean white. The warm undertone is low in chroma so it reads as neutral under most lighting conditions and suits ceilings and woodwork and full walls equally.

It coordinates well with Shaded White and Slipper Satin for a tonal scheme and can be grounded by mid-tones such as Cornforth White and Pigeon or Strong White.
