Cabbage White No. 269 by Farrow & Ball is a subtle white with the slightest hint of blue, named after the most delicate of butterflies. This palest of blues is perfect when you want a light, airy finish that isn’t stark—fresh, gentle, and quietly characterful.
Cabbage White is especially suited to rooms that go up into the eaves, where using one colour across both walls and ceiling creates a seamless, spacious feel. It really comes into its own when contrasted with All White for a crisp, clean difference you can actually see.
Recommended Primer & Undercoat: White and Light Tones.
Complementary white: Wevet.
