Farrow & Ball

Snow White

No. W1

Snow White by Farrow & Ball is a near-white with faint cream undertones, registering an LRV of 91.4. At that level of reflectance it functions close to a pure white but carries just enough warmth to avoid looking clinical under artificial light. It is a practical choice for ceilings, trim, and full-wall applications in any room where maximum brightness is the goal.

The slight cream cast keeps it from clashing with warmer materials like wood or linen. It coordinates well with Pointing, Slipper Satin, Dimity, Pale Powder, and Railings.
