How they read
In their own wordsFrench White 1093 is a light, warm neutral from Benjamin Moore's Classics collection, described by the brand as "a gentle dose of yellow provides warmth to this creamy beige". Its LRV is 72.65.
School House White No. 291 is, in Farrow & Ball's words, "pared back, timeless and familiar without the cool undertones of the more contemporary neutral groups". The brand says the soft off-white is reminiscent of the colour used in old school houses.
