Calla Lily

283

Calla Lily is a soft pastel yellow with a warm undertone. Its LRV of 79.44 makes it light and reflective. It is suitable for kitchens, nurseries, or small rooms that need gentle brightness.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore White Dove or Linen White for warm whites. Silver Mist or Sweet Bluette add cool balance, while Essex Green provides contrast. In north-facing light, the undertone stays cool and the shade can read deeper.

Calla Lily 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.
