Wall paint - White Tie No. 2002

About White Tie No. 2002

White Tie is a pretty, traditional white with a yellow base. On walls, it gives every room a gentle warmth, while a small dose of black pigment provides a surprising depth. Combined with other yellow-based Farrow & Ball neutrals such as the darker shades Matchstick and String, it creates a delicate, creamy color scheme.

Color Impact & Light

White Tie flatters the room with warm, earthy softness and a touch of sunset. Due to its high pigmentation, the tone changes with the daylight: softer in the morning, deeper in the evening.

Combine Like a Pro

The official complementary white for White Tie is Wimborne White, ideal for ceilings, trims, and adjacent surfaces. Color schemes recommended by Farrow & Ball: Wimborne White & All White · New White & Matchstick · Farrow's Cream & Dorset Cream · Ringwold Ground & Dead Salmon.
