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 1.65 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 says how close the trade formula sits to the original, and each match carries a grade: Platinum at 98% and above, Gold at 96%, Silver at 94%, Bronze below that. Above 95% most people cannot tell the two apart on a wall. Bronze is a good alternative with a slight shift in tone, so test it with a sample pot first.

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.
