Just off white
This just off white is named after the market town of Wimborne in Dorset and home to Farrow & Ball. Only a shade away from a pure white, the addition of the smallest amount of warm yellow pigment creates a very versatile shade which is just a little softer than All White.
Recommended Primer & Undercoat:White and Light Tones
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.
Interior and exterior finishes
Interior and exterior finishes
From walls, floors and furniture to radiators, skirtings and sheds, our range of paint finishes can help you transform almost any surface in your home (and outside it, too).
We even have multi-surface finishes like Dead Flat and Full Gloss, so you can tackle walls, woodwork and metal at the same time.
Our comprehensive range is comprised of paint finishes that not only look beautiful, but offer different practical benefits. Designed for a variety of different surfaces, each finish is compatible with our high-performance Primers & Undercoats to ensure exceptional coverage, adhesion and depth of colour.

Our White & Light Tones Primer & Undercoat creates a wonderful base for our softest shades. Covering imperfections on your surface and adding extra depth of colour, this primer is based on our simplest colour, All White.
Made with the same natural ingredients and pigments as our topcoats, our Primer & Undercoat is the crucial foundation for creating a rich, even and longer lasting finish.

Classic and WarmAfter advice with Farrow and Ball advisor, Wimborne White chosen as option to go with Joa's White walls. So thrilled with color and paint finishes on both ceiling and doors. It brings warmth to a smaller Victorian room and authentic in character. Additionally, the price though expensive, worth every penny as finish high with no splash so economically better value. Will now use in other rooms as very impressed with Farrow and Ball paint.

The best eggshellFarrow and ball eggshell is by far the best. It’s so hardwaring and tough. I painted my kitchen cupboards with it and it stands the test of time.
I was painting over a beige color, which was quite light, and it did require 3-4 coats which was unexpected, but worth it.
Wouldn’t chose an eggshell from anywhere else

Glowy and fresh and smartMy favorite of all the F&B paints I’ve used so far. It has glow and inner depth but it’s not too yellow. It’s confident and stylish and makes everything in the room look hip and effortless, like you know what you’re doing.

As always good quality paintI am a Farrow and Ball customer since 2002 and rate Farrow and Ball paints very high. They always painted very easily when they were oil-based but also now they are water-based they apply very smoothly. I chose Wimborne White as a contrast to Dove Tale because The F&B website advised me that they were a match. Well done F&B

Beautiful WhiteAbsolutely beautiful white. I used it in my bathroom on the ceiling and upper walls with shadow white on the wainscoting. Just a beautiful combination. The paint is definitely high quality. I did two coats and the coverage is wonderful!

So elegant and soft. It’s like painting sunshine.This is such an elegant colour. I have used it in many houses. The last one is a new build with very harsh white on flat walls which I have found to be stressful. The Wimbourne White has made the space so much more comfortable and restful. It’s like gentle sunlight. It looks especially pretty next to antique pine. The wardrobe is painted in the eggshell which also looks beautiful.
I wish farrow and ball would offer estate emulsion in 750ml pots also.

Beautiful finish, love the color!We did a major gut job on our new house and, because I'm sensitive to scents and chemicals, we decided to paint the entire interior in Farrow and Ball. We love how it turned out. This is our living room, walls in Wimborne White and the fireplace in Stiffkey Blue. The white was luminous and soft, exactly what I was hoping for.

Perfect for trim and woodworkI used Wimborne White Eggshell on woodwork trim against Hague Blue and Pointing wall colors. This is a perfect soft white, creamy but no discernible undertones. It really makes the wall colors stand out, and enhances the woodwork very well. I’m going to finish my entire downstairs with this now.

Main color for two houses!We have used Farrow and Ball paints in two recent home we have built. Wimborne white covers all of the trim and the extensive wainscot in both and is beautiful. It reads as a bright white but not a cold white. It is beautiful with the kitchen cabinets painted in white tie, bedrooms in light blue, stiffkey blue, dimmity, cabbage white as well as wallpaper.

Love it!Everyone’s pictures here seem to show Wimborne White with a lot more yellow than it’s showing up on my walls. Just painted the landing and the stairs, and I probably will paint the majority of downstairs with it. It’s this perfectly elegant, barely there, soft white that modernizes my traditional home. And it looks great with the greenery outside the windows.

Lovely colorBeautiful color. It’s just a little warmer than all white. Unfortunately, this colour does not seem to cover very well – it took five coats for me to cover slipper satin! But I don’t mind because it’s a great color.

Not fit for purposeThe new dead flat paint is not fit for purpose. It suggested it is suitable for wood… it isn’t . I foolishly painted a wooden sash window with it and it all just crumbled off. I had used the F&B undercoat/ primer as suggested. I’m now going to have to re sand the whole thing down and buy a tin of the F&B eggshell which I’ve used in the past. It’s not just the cost of the paint it’s more about the time I’ve wasted, preparation etc.
