What color is Farrow and Ball School House White?
Farrow and Ball School House White 291 is a pale, softly muted off-white with a gentle beige cast and a lightly weathered grey undertone. Its low saturation keeps it from reading creamy or stark, giving walls a quiet, chalky appearance. In bright daylight, this shade can look clean and lightly warm, while evening light draws out its softer taupe-beige side. Use it across living room, bedroom, or hallway walls where a subtle background is preferred over a crisp white finish. It pairs naturally with warm oak, aged brass, linen upholstery, and deeper charcoal or earthy brown accents.

What are Farrow and Ball School House White undertones?
School House White reads as a light, very muted off-white with a soft yellow-leaning cast rather than a crisp, bright white. The supplied digital color is close to neutral, so that warmth is subtle and may vary with surrounding colors and finish. Farrow & Ball describes it as their lightest color in the group and a soft off-white; that matches its visibly pale, low-saturation character without defining a specific undertone. Warm artificial light may bring out its gentle creamy warmth, while cool daylight can make it appear cleaner and more neutral.
