Corinthian White

162 / OC-111

Corinthian White is a pale off-white with noticeable butterscotch undertones that shift it away from a cool or stark reading. With an LRV of 79.45, it reflects substantial light while retaining visible warmth on the wall. The yellow-tan base gives it a slightly aged, lived-in quality rather than a crisp modern white.

It works well in living rooms, bedrooms, and kitchens where warm ambient light is present. White Dove and Swiss Coffee pair naturally for trim, while Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal provide contrast on cabinetry or accent walls.

Corinthian 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.
