Farrow & Ball

Wimborne White

No. 239

Wimborne White is a warm white with subtle creamy undertones that prevent it from reading stark. Its very high LRV of 94.8 reflects nearly all available light, making it effective in low-light or north-facing rooms. Despite its brightness, the undertone keeps the color balanced and neutral.

It is commonly used as a full-room color or trim in traditional and transitional interiors. It layers well with Farrow & Ball neutrals such as Joa’s White and Oxford Stone. For contrast, deeper colors like Down Pipe or Studio Green define edges without overpowering the white base.
