What color is Farrow and Ball Joa's White?
Farrow and Ball Joa's White 226 is a light, muted beige with a clear warm cast that sits between soft cream and pale sand. Its #decfb9 tone carries gentle peachy-tan undertones, keeping it from reading stark or cool. In bright daylight, Joa's White looks airy and lightly sun-washed, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its deeper biscuit-like warmth. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a quiet neutral is wanted without the crispness of pure white. Pair it with natural oak, aged brass, linen upholstery, terracotta accents, or deeper brown and olive details for a grounded interior.

What are Farrow and Ball Joa's White undertones?
Joa’s White reads as a light, muted yellow-based neutral with a soft beige-taupe character rather than a crisp white. The supplied digital color has a slight warm, reddish cast alongside its yellow direction, which can make it look gently earthy and subdued. Farrow & Ball describes it as a light taupe, a label that fits its visible beige-gray neutrality while allowing its warmer yellow bias to show through. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its creamy beige warmth, while cool daylight can make its gray-taupe side appear more noticeable.

LRV of Joa's White
Joa's White has an LRV of 63.63% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 63.63%, 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.
