About House White
House White (No.2012) is a light warm white from Farrow & Ball with a warm yellow undertone. With an LRV of 78, House White reflects most of the light that hits it, which helps small or dim rooms feel larger.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down House White's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for whole-house walls, living rooms, bedrooms and trim with a deeper wall color. Next to New White (No.59), it's warmer.
