New White No. 59 by Farrow & Ball is a fresh cream that feels brighter and cleaner than more traditional creamy whites. It adds soft illumination and warmth without looking heavy, making it an easy choice for welcoming interiors—especially in a country kitchen where you want a light, buttery glow.
Colour perception shifts depending on what you pair it with: New White can appear milkier when contrasted with White Tie, or look cleaner and more defined alongside India Yellow. Use it to create a gentle, warm backdrop for cabinetry, trim, and classic décor.
Recommended Primer & Undercoat: White and Light Tones.
