Whispering Waterfall

BL-W06

Whispering Waterfall is a bright off-white touched by a faint green-yellow cast, more mineral than creamy. The yellow-green cast keeps this white from feeling clinical. Kitchens, baths, or hallways can use it where a pale color needs slight warmth.

The shade will look nearly white in sunny rooms. Light wood and soft gray stone keep it quiet. If paired with blue-white trim, the greenish warmth becomes more visible, so compare the two on site.
