A light grey beige
Neither too warm nor too cool, this neutral takes its name from the soft tone created when many of our whites are used in deep shade. Shaded White has a gentle greyness, but with none of the cooler tones of Cornforth White, making it incredibly versatile within homes both old and new. It is often used alongside lighter shades such as Pointing or Slipper Satin for a restful space, or paired with Drop Cloth for a wonderfully relaxed feel.
We’re dedicated to perfecting the art of paint. At our home in Dorset, we combine the finest ingredients, 75 years of experience and technical precision to help you create beautiful spaces that stay beautiful. Even in our colour rich paints, less than 8% of the tin is the colour. The other 92% is what creates the quality, depth and extraordinary response to light that transforms your home.
Paint is like coffee. The colour is the froth on the top, but it’s the quality of the rest of the cup that makes it taste good. – Richard Ball, Farrow & Ball Co-founder
We use twelve exclusive pigments, all specifically selected for their colour intensity. We take colour seriously, so naturally, we only accept the very best. By using these same pigments to make every colour in our palette, all our shades combine effortlessly, making it easy for you to put together a cohesive colour scheme.
Deeper, richer colours
Deeper, richer colours
Packed with pigment for an extraordinary response to every kind of light.
We add generous helpings of rich pigment to create our signature look – deep colours with complex undertones. The same space that feels bright and airy in morning sun, can feel cosy and intimate by evening. Our teams design each shade under every kind of light, so it will be perfectly balanced in every setting.
Extraordinary response to light
Extraordinary response to light
We spend months carefully crafting and testing each of our paint colours to make sure they share our signature extraordinary response to light. This beautiful reaction to changing light, like bringing out different undertones or shifting intensity, is what makes our paint so special.

Dead Flat finish is 'Dead Good'I'm planning a big reno project in my hall/stairs/landing area and wanted to test out the new Dead Flat finish. I used Shaded White in my office and it was a dream to paint with - I used mid tones primer underneath. The finish is lovely and this colour is my go-to for a calming, warm neutral. Intend to contrast the staircase with pitch black

Love itFabulous paint. Looks different throughout the day as the light changes. Have F&B in most rooms now. So worth the extra money.

The perfect warm greigeI was looking for a warm greige for our north-facing bedroom that would work well with our existing grey furniture and give the room a more neutral feel. Shaded White was the perfect choice and goes beautifully with our Green Smoke panelling. As usual, the quality of the paint was outstanding.

Beautiful warm colourWe selected shaded white 201 for our bathroom wood panels, complimented with Cromarty on the side of the bath. It feels warm and looks amazing!

Shaded white kitchenRoss in Edinburgh showroom recommended shaded white for our kitchen during our colour consultancy as I was looking for a calm, warm shade without too much yellow tone and without looking too creamy. I also had an old church pew painted in Mouses back I wanted to keep. We paired shaded white cabinets with school house white walls and of black accents. I couldn’t be more thrilled with the outcome!

Beautiful coverage but not the best for coverageA beautiful finish. Only reason it isn't 5 stars is because the coverage isn't as good as I anticipated from a high quality paint.
