How they read
In their own wordsTundra is the off-white for people who find most whites too creamy. Its LRV of 77 puts it in soft-white territory, but the base is a cool, faintly green-blue grey, so it reads clean and quiet rather than warm. On plaster mouldings and in rooms with a lot of daylight it looks like fresh air.
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.
