How they read
In their own wordsMilk White is one of Edward Bulmer's core whites — a warm, inviting white with none of the blueness the name might suggest. The paint is plant-based and pigmented with earths, which gives the colour a chalky, gentle depth on the wall.
Pointing is one of Farrow & Ball's warm neutral whites, named for the lime pointing between old bricks. It is fresh and uncomplicated — a white with a gentle cream warmth that never tips into yellow.
