What color is Farrow and Ball White Tie?

Farrow and Ball White Tie 2002 is a pale, creamy off-white with a clear yellow-beige warmth rather than a crisp, stark-white finish. Its light value keeps walls bright, while the soft ivory cast gives it more depth than a pure white. In north-facing rooms it can read as a gentle biscuit tone, while warm daylight and evening lamps bring out its buttery character. White Tie suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and painted cabinetry where a softer alternative to brilliant white is wanted. Pair it with natural oak, aged brass, linen upholstery, and deeper earthy shades such as muted olive, clay, or warm brown for a grounded scheme.

What are Farrow and Ball White Tie undertones?

White Tie reads as a very light, muted cream-white with a soft yellow-leaning warmth rather than a stark neutral white. The supplied digital sample shows only a subtle yellow bias, so its warmth is gentle and may shift with surrounding colors and lighting. Farrow & Ball describes it as a “pale creamy white,” which aligns with its visibly warm white family. Warm artificial light may make the creamy cast more noticeable, while cool daylight can make it appear cleaner and closer to an off-white.

LRV of White Tie

White Tie has an LRV of 84.29% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all lightWhy LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 84.29%, 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.
