About Farrow & Ball School house white
Farrow & Ball School house white is a light, muted, warm off-white. At LRV 74 it reflects 74% of the light that hits it, so it keeps a room feeling open and takes north light without going flat. Its NCS code S 1005-Y10R reads as 10% blackness and 5% chromaticness on a hue of yellow with 10% toward red, which is the shade the trade tin is mixed to. Measured against that shade the original sits 1.96 dE away, a difference you would only see with the two side by side; the trade mix reads slightly darker, a little more saturated and a touch warmer.

Farrow & Ball School house white dupe: common questions
- What kind of white is Farrow & Ball School House White?
- It's a soft, warm off-white with a gentle yellow undertone and an LRV of 74, so it stays light and airy without the cold edge of a brilliant white. It suits whole rooms, ceilings and trim, and stays forgiving in north-facing light.
- What is the closest trade match for School House White?
- Dulux Heritage colour-matched to NCS S 1005-Y10R, at a 98% match. It uses the same colour formula, so it reads the same once it is on the wall.
- How much does the School House White dupe cost?
- The trade match starts from £23.91, up to 40% less than buying Farrow & Ball School House White directly.
- How close is NCS S 1005-Y10R to Farrow & Ball School house white?
- Close NCS match: a difference you would only see with the two side by side. We measure the colour against the NCS shade it is mixed to, and this one sits 1.96 dE apart (under 1 is invisible, 1 to 2 shows only side by side, over 3.5 is a different shade). The store tints every tin to that NCS code, so this is how close the paint itself will be before brand and finish come into it.
- What does a 98% match actually mean?
- The percentage is our overall grade for the trade product against Farrow & Ball School house white. It combines three things: how close the NCS shade it is mixed to sits to the original, the tinting quality of the trade brand, and how the finish carries colour. Platinum is 98% and above, Gold 96%, Silver 94%, Bronze below that. It grades the product, not the colour on its own. The colour on its own is the NCS fit on this page: a measured distance to the shade in the tin, where under 1 dE is invisible, 1 to 2 shows only side by side, and above 3.5 is a shift you will notice. Whatever the score, put a tester on the wall before you order tins.
- How quickly can I get it?
- Next Day Paint tints your colour to order. Order before 3pm, Monday to Friday, and it ships for next working day delivery at £3.99. They email you tracking when it leaves.
- Can I try the colour before buying a full tin?
- Most trade finishes come in a tester pot, and the page shows the tester price beside the tin price. Put it on the wall and look at it in daylight and under your own lamps before you order litres, because a tinted tin cannot go back.
- Can I return it if I change my mind?
- Next Day Paint tints each tin to your colour after you order, so they cannot resell it and cannot take it back unless it arrives faulty. Put a sample pot on the wall before you commit to full tins.
Same colour, up to 40% less.
