What color is Farrow and Ball New White?
Farrow and Ball New White 59 is a pale, creamy off-white with a clear warm yellow-beige cast. Its #f5e8d0 value keeps it light and softly saturated, so it reads warmer than a crisp white without becoming overtly beige. In bright daylight, the color can appear airy and lightly buttery, while evening light tends to draw out its gentle biscuit warmth. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where stark white would feel too sharp, and can also make painted cabinetry look pleasantly softened rather than clinical. Pair New White with natural oak, woven linen, aged brass, terracotta, or deeper olive and brown accents for a grounded interior palette.

What are Farrow and Ball New White undertones?
New White is a light, muted off-white with a clear yellow-cream cast and low saturation. Its relative undertone reads warm rather than pink, gray, or blue, though the exact appearance will depend on surrounding colors and lighting. Farrow & Ball says it will “warm up any room with its soft illumination,” which fits its visibly warm off-white character but is not a stated pigment-based undertone claim. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its creamy yellow quality, while cool daylight can make it appear cleaner and less warm.

LRV of New White
New White has an LRV of 81.55% 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 81.55%, 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.
