Barely There

CSP-725

Barely There is a near-white neutral with subtle undertones that keep it from reading stark. Its LRV of 77.51 reflects a high amount of light, so it stays bright on walls and ceilings. In warm light it takes on a faint beige cast.

It is suitable for whole-house neutrals, trim, or low-contrast schemes. Pair it with White Dove and Classic Gray for tonal balance, and add Kendall Charcoal or Hale Navy for contrast.

Barely There 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.
