What color is Farrow and Ball Cabbage White?

Farrow and Ball Cabbage White 269 is a very pale off-white with a gentle green-grey cast visible beneath its light surface. The #e8eeea value keeps it airy and low in saturation, so it reads as a soft alternative to a plain white rather than a clearly colored green. In brighter daylight, Cabbage White can appear especially clean and lightly cool, while lower or warmer light may bring out its muted grey-green undertone. It suits walls and ceilings in kitchens, bathrooms, and quiet bedrooms, particularly alongside natural wood, brushed nickel, soft grey textiles, or deeper leafy greens.

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 83.66%, 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.
