Skimmed Milk White

No. W7

Skimmed Milk White by Farrow & Ball is a warm neutral with noticeable beige and yellow undertones, hex #CFCAB5. With an LRV of 79, it reflects a good amount of light while reading distinctly warmer and darker than a standard white. It works well on walls in living rooms and kitchens where a soft, grounded warmth is needed without going into full cream territory.

It coordinates naturally with Pointing, Wimborne White, Pale Powder, Joa's White, and Old White, all of which share its warm neutral character.
