How they read
In their own wordsSwiss Coffee is the warm white by which other warm whites are measured. With an LRV near 84 it stays bright and open, but a slight yellow-beige undertone keeps it creamy rather than clinical — the look of fresh cream rather than fresh snow.
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.
