All White (No.2005) is a very light white with true neutral white undertones. F&B's purest, cleanest white. The closest to a true white with no discernible undertone. To find a good Valspar match, we need a color that captures not just the right depth (LRV 90) but also that specific undertone character. That is where Delta E color science comes in.
