Farrow & Ball

Vichyssoise

No. 9909

Vichyssoise by Farrow & Ball is a pale, warm-cool neutral with a faint greenish undertone that distinguishes it from a straight cream or white. Hex #D0D0B7, its LRV of 80.9 makes it a strong light reflector, suitable for rooms of any size and particularly useful in spaces with limited natural light. It functions effectively as a wall color in kitchens, bedrooms, and corridors where a clean but not clinical backdrop is required.

It pairs well with Farrow & Ball shades such as Pavilion Gray, All White, Hague Blue, Green Smoke, and Borrowed Light for layered tonal schemes.
