What color is Farrow and Ball Shadow White?
Farrow and Ball Shadow White 282 is a pale, muted off-white with a soft beige cast and a gentle greyed quality that keeps it from reading creamy. Its low saturation gives walls a quiet, chalky appearance, especially in rooms with broad natural light. In warmer light, the subtle sand-toned warmth becomes more apparent, while cooler daylight can bring out its restrained grey undertone. Use it in bedrooms, hallways, or living spaces alongside natural oak, linen, aged brass, and stone for a layered neutral scheme. Shadow White also suits cabinetry or woodwork where a less stark alternative to bright white is wanted.

What are Farrow and Ball Shadow White undertones?
Shadow White is a light, very muted off-white with a soft yellow-leaning warmth rather than a crisp blue-white character. The yellow bias in the supplied digital sample is subtle, so it can read close to neutral while still feeling slightly creamy or stone-like. Farrow & Ball describes it as having “a hint of grey,” which fits its visibly softened, low-saturation white appearance rather than changing its main off-white family. Warm artificial light may bring out its gentle yellow warmth, while cool daylight can make the greyed, near-neutral quality more noticeable.

LRV of Shadow White
Shadow White has an LRV of 68.36% 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 68.36%, 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.
