Farrow & Ball

Shaded White

No. 201

Shaded White by Farrow & Ball is a warm neutral that leans toward soft taupe rather than a true white. It carries subtle gray undertones and a creamy beige quality that gives it more body than most off-whites. With an LRV of 81.3 it reflects plenty of light and works well as an all-over wall color in both naturally lit and darker rooms.

It can also serve as a trim or ceiling color when paired with stronger tones. Drop Cloth and School House White sit comfortably alongside it, and deeper options like London Clay, Mouse's Back, and Pigeon provide effective contrast.

Shaded 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.

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.
