Paint Colors: Pointing by Farrow & Ball “Pointing is a beautiful creamy white that glows but doesn’t read as yellow,” Los Angeles-based interior designer Lindsay Pennington says. “It elevates the standard white wall by adding depth and dimension and looks terrific against artwork, because it contrasts just enough with white matting or paper to set those off and doesn’t compete with richer, more intense colors.” In this kitchen, Pennington used Pointing as the wall color to subtly complement cabinets that are painted in Farrow & Ball’s Stony Ground. “Pointing is equally happy at home with warmer and cooler tones,” she says.
