Wall paint - James White No. 2010

About James White No. 2010

James White was originally designed for a Dr. James, a sophisticated man who required a slightly greenish white for his garden room. The result is subtle and calming; James White works particularly well in rooms that receive little natural light.

Colour Impact & Light

James White brings calm and spaciousness to any room and forms the perfect base for changing decor. Due to its high pigmentation, the tone changes with the daylight: softer in the morning, deeper in the evening.

Combine like the pros

The official complementary white for James White is All White, ideal for ceilings, mouldings and adjoining areas. Farrow & Ball recommended colour schemes: Lime White & Off-White · Treron & French Gray · Vert De Terre & Lichen · Whirlybird & Breakfast Room Green.
