White Veil

OR-W14

White Veil is a very bright warm white with a soft cream undertone. It feels clean and gentle. Use it for trim, walls, or ceilings when a cold white would look too stark.

The high reflectance makes it useful in darker rooms, though it still reads warm beside blue whites. Brushed brass and pale oak keep it warm. Test beside countertops, since warm whites can shift near cool stone.

White Veil in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
