Billowy Down

7,8E+01

Billowy Down is a bright off-white with its faint yellow green undertone. The result feels airy. On walls, the color gives more softness than a stark white but still reflects plenty of light.

It can help rooms with warm floors and simple white trim feel connected. In shaded spaces, the green note may peek through. Test it beside beige upholstery before using it everywhere.
