What color is Farrow and Ball All White?

Farrow and Ball All White 2005 is a very pale off-white with a lightly softened appearance rather than a stark, bright-white finish. Its #fbf8f4 color value suggests a subtle warm cast, giving the shade a gentle creaminess that can keep large white surfaces from feeling cold. Use it on walls and ceilings for a quiet, low-contrast backdrop, especially in rooms with natural wood, linen upholstery, or pale stone. In daylight, it should read close to white, while warmer evening lighting may draw out its faint warmth. All White is particularly suited to cabinetry, trim, or whole-room schemes where a clean but not clinical white is wanted.

What are Farrow and Ball All White undertones?

All White is a very light, low-saturation near-white that reads as clean and close to neutral rather than strongly warm or cool. In the supplied digital sample, there is only a very slight yellow direction, too subtle to support a firm undertone label. Farrow & Ball says All White contains no pigment other than white, which fits its visibly minimal color bias rather than suggesting a distinct warm or cool cast. Warm artificial light may make its faint creamy direction easier to notice, while cool daylight can make it appear cleaner and more neutral.

LRV of All White

All White has an LRV of 94.47% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).

Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 94.47%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft² living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
