Wimborne White is named after the market town of Wimborne, the home to the first Farrow & Ball factory and still the site of our head office. It is just Off-White with the addition of the smallest amount of warm pigment to create a very versatile white which is just a little softer than All White but can still be used in contrast to any other Farrow & Ball colour.

Wimborne White

Farrow & Ball's Wimborne White is a soft, warm white that exudes a sense of purity and brightness. Named after the historic town of Wimborne in Dorset, this elegant shade is part of Farrow & Ball's "Traditional Neutrals" collection. With a subtle yellow undertone, Wimborne White maintains a clean and fresh appearance without veering into starkness, providing a welcoming and inviting backdrop for any room.

Wimborne White is exceptionally versatile and works beautifully in a variety of settings, from contemporary to traditional interiors. It is ideal for creating light, airy spaces and can be used on walls, ceilings, and woodwork to achieve a seamless and cohesive look. Its adaptability allows it to pair well with both bold colours and other neutrals, enhancing the brightness of vibrant hues and offering a soft contrast to deeper shades. This timeless white brings a gentle warmth to interiors, ensuring a harmonious and balanced environment that remains stylish for years to come.

Colour Schemes

Farrow & Ball's colour card includes a large range of gentle neutrals with matching bold accents. This makes it very easy for anyone to choose a colour scheme for their home.

Lime White and Bone

Lime White: This timeless off white is named after the chalky pigments used in original distempers. One of Farrow & Ball's Traditional Neutrals, its soft tone is created by the addition of a small amount of green pigment.

Bone: A soft grey with a touch of green, this stony neutral is simply named after the colour of bones found in the animal kingdom.

Setting Plaster and Pink Ground

Setting Plaster: This dusty pink is named after the blushing walls we often admire in newly plastered houses. It is definitely a pink in historic terms, but has a certain softness to it due to the inclusion of yellow pigment.

Pink Ground: This dusty pink started out as a delicate wallpaper background which was often requested as a paint colour. Pink Ground, with its large dose of yellow pigment, now creates the softest blush of colour for a warm and soothing finish that doesn’t feel sugary.

Stiffkey Blue and Pale Powder

Stiffkey Blue: This inky blue is named after the Norfolk beach where the mud, along with the cockles, share a particular deep navy hue. Although traditional in feel, Stiffkey Blue is often used as an alternative to Down Pipe to create a richly dramatic space with a more contemporary finish.

Pale Powder: Farrow & Ball's most popular shade of aqua is a lighter version of an archived Farrow & Ball colour, Powder Blue. Pale Powder has an unparalleled softness and in north facing rooms can read almost as a delicate grey, but it is rarely cold due to the addition of green pigment.
