Wall paint - Joa's White No. 226

About Joa's White No. 226

Joa's White is named after the Farrow & Ball colour expert who creates our colours: Joa Studholme. This versatile shade from our red-based neutrals group is a light taupe with a hint of black. It pairs particularly well with natural materials such as leather, linen, and natural stone.

Colour Effect & Light

Joa's White brings a sense of calm and space to any room and provides the perfect backdrop for changing interior styles. Due to its high level of pigmentation, the tone shifts with the daylight: softer in the morning, deeper in the evening.
