What color is Farrow and Ball Strong White?
Farrow and Ball Strong White 2001 is a pale, softly muted off-white with a gentle grey-beige cast. Its low saturation keeps it from reading creamy, while the subtle warmth prevents it from feeling stark or icy. In bright daylight, this color can appear clean and lightly silvery; under warmer lamps, its beige notes become more noticeable. It suits living room walls, bedrooms, and hallways where a quiet backdrop is needed without the sharp contrast of pure white. Pair Strong White with weathered oak, linen upholstery, brushed nickel, charcoal details, or deeper taupe accents for a restrained, layered interior.

What are Farrow and Ball Strong White undertones?
Strong White appears as a very light, low-saturation off-white that reads close to neutral, with only a faint warm-leaning direction in the supplied digital sample. That slight orange-yellow bias is too weak to identify a definite undertone from the HEX value alone. Farrow & Ball describes Strong White as a cool white; in practice, that manufacturer description positions it as a cleaner-looking white within its near-neutral main color family rather than a noticeably creamy one. Warm artificial light may bring out its subtle softness, while cool daylight may make it appear crisper and closer to a neutral white.

LRV of Strong White
Strong White has an LRV of 75.13% 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 75.13%, 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.
