About School House White No.291:

This soft off-white shade is the lightest among the Timeless Neutrals collection, which includes Shadow White, Shaded White, and Drop Cloth. Each of these shades is designed to appear like white when used in areas with low light. School House White is a stripped-back, timeless, and welcoming colour that lacks the cool undertones found in the Architectural Neutrals. It evokes the hues used in old schoolhouses.
