Farrow & Ball

Single Cream

No. 9901

Single Cream by Farrow & Ball is a warm off-white with yellow and beige undertones, carrying an LRV of 82.3. It reflects a large amount of light while retaining enough warmth to avoid looking stark or clinical. The yellow lean gives it a slightly buttery cast in natural daylight, which softens further under incandescent light.

It is well suited to living rooms, kitchens, and hallways where a neutral but not cool backdrop is needed. It works alongside Farrow & Ball colors such as Pointing, Matchstick, Pale Hound, Hay, and Studio Green.
