Farrow & Ball

Shadow White

No. 282

Shadow White by Farrow & Ball is a warm off-white with a gray undertone that gives it slightly more weight than a standard white. Its LRV of 84.3 keeps it firmly in the light range, reflecting enough to brighten a room while still registering as a distinct color rather than a flat white. The warm base prevents it from looking clinical under artificial light, making it useful for walls, trim, and cabinetry.

It pairs naturally with Shaded White and Drop Cloth in tonal combinations, and holds up well against stronger colors like Pigeon, Studio Green, or Railings for contrast.
