A Warm Neutral named after our first Colour Consultant Joa, who still develops many Farrow & Ball colours. Joa’s White is a light and clean taupe with the merest hint of black pigment which makes it perfect to combine with the limestone, leather and linens often used in contemporary homes. The Farrow & Ball Estate Emulsion Paint is a classic paint choice for walls and ceilings in low-traffic areas. Its matte, chalky finish beautifully hides minor imperfections and creates a rich, deep colour. This distinctive finish scatters light, making the colours appear deeper and more vibrant. The paint is water-based with low VOCs, meaning it has very little odour, making it a healthier choice for your home. Shade: Joa'S White. Size: 5L.
This guide is for homeowners and decorators looking to use Farrow & Ball's Joa's White Estate Emulsion Paint to add a touch of elegance to their interiors. The paint provides a beautiful, matte finish that enhances the color's depth and hides imperfections. However, it's best suited for low-traffic areas like walls and ceilings due to its delicate nature.
