Farrow & Ball String No. 8 is a light white, a clear color rather than a neutral, leaning yellow, with an estimated LRV of 60, light enough to keep a room bright without reading white.
Source: Farrow & Ball's color data. LRV is estimated from the published RGB swatch. Undertone labels describe our calculation, not the paint formula or a test in your room. How we assess colors.
