# Farrow and Ball School House White

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/school-house-white](https://plan-home.com/color/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.
