A chalky off white
This timeless off white is named after the chalky pigments used in original distempers. One of our Traditional Neutrals, its soft tone is created by the addition of a small amount of green pigment. Lime White has a totally enduring feel, and when combined with Old White or Slipper Satin it becomes both sophisticated and understated.
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

Colour Story
Complementary White
Slipper Satin
Without cool blue undertones, Slipper Satin often reads as a pale grey chalk which makes for a perfect neutral on walls with darker Old White woodwork. Find out more about Slipper Satin
Every colour in the Farrow & Ball palette is paired with a specific shade of white, these are selected to celebrate a shared undertone and create harmonious spaces alongside your chosen 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.

A fabulous creamI want a cream colour to go with Calke Green cupboards, but I didn’t want anything too yellow. This is fab. With the light changes, it goes from a cream, to a light stone colour with a hint of green undertones. This matches perfectly with the green cupboards. Really nice finish.

lovely whitepaired with yeabridge green, this white is absolutely lovely for my limited-light dining room. it has an excellent chalky feel to it, and creates a very neutral space without feeling too stark. while it has a green undertone, it doesn't feel cool in our western facing room, even during the morning.

Good coverage but tonal changes between potsexcellent two coat coverage and depth of colour, but the estate emulsion Lime White and the casein distemper Lime White are slightly different tonally. The emulsion is yellower than the distemper. As a result the lime plaster wall is slightly different from the mineral plaster

Lime White dead flat for ceiling and woodworkI used Lime White as a ceiling and woodwork choice to compliment the Calke Green walls. Applied very well and had no issues with roller splatter. The paint dries very quickly which does makes it harder to maintain a wet edge.
