Berber White

955 / HC-81

Berber White is a warm beige with subtle yellow undertones. The LRV of 63.23 reflects a moderate amount of light, so it stays light without appearing stark. It is suitable for whole-house walls, trim, or kitchens where a warm neutral is needed.

Pair it with White Dove and Swiss Coffee for a soft palette, and use Saybrook Sage for muted color. Kendall Charcoal or Hale Navy provide contrast.

Berber White 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.
