Farrow & Ball

Strong White

No. 2001

Strong White by Farrow & Ball is a muted off-white with faint warm undertones that lean slightly toward taupe rather than pure grey. Its hex value is #E4E2DC and it has an LRV of 88.6 placing it among the higher-reflecting neutrals in the range. That reflectance makes it functional for ceilings trim and smaller rooms where maximizing light matters.

It reads as a controlled warm white rather than stark or cool. It coordinates with Farrow & Ball shades like Cornforth White and Ammonite for a tonal scheme or Purbeck Stone Down Pipe and Wimborne White for layered depth.
