This white, which sits between School House White and Slipper Satin, can be used with any Farrow & Ball colour, making it one of our most versatile shades.

A shade from the Farrow & Ball Archive

Farrow's White is part of the Farrow & Ball Archive collection: no longer in the current colour card, but still available in its original quality. Each tin is mixed to order. Due to the high pigmentation, the tone changes with the daylight – softer in the morning, deeper in the evening.
