Farrow & Ball

Hardwick White

No. 5

Hardwick White is a warm gray with taupe undertones rather than a true white, despite its name. At hex #B2ADA0 and an LRV of 67.9, it reflects a good amount of light while retaining enough warmth to avoid feeling clinical. It works well as a full-room wall color, on ceilings paired with stronger tones below, or on trim and paneling in period properties.

Compatible Farrow & Ball shades include Shaded White, Slipper Satin, Down Pipe, Cornforth White, and Elephant's Breath, each of which shares its grounded, neutral warmth.
