What are Farrow and Ball Great White undertones?
Great White is a very light, low-saturation off-white that reads as near-neutral in the supplied digital sample, with a faint warmth rather than a strong obvious hue. The sample has a slight red-and-yellow bias, but it is subtle enough that a definite undertone is difficult to confirm from the HEX value alone. Farrow & Ball describes Great White as appearing very pale lilac when contrasted with All White, so that lilac impression is most likely to show as a relative contrast effect within its otherwise soft off-white appearance. Warm artificial light may bring out its gentle warmth, while cool daylight can make it look cleaner and may make any faint lilac cast easier to notice.

LRV of Great White
Great White has an LRV of 74.69% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?
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 74.69%, 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.
