Ecru

2014-70

Ecru is a light, warm off-white with distinct peach and orange undertones. It has an LRV of 84.76, meaning it reflects a high amount of light and reads as nearly white in well-lit rooms. The peach cast becomes more apparent under warm or incandescent lighting.

This color works well in bedrooms, living rooms, and kitchens where a warm but bright wall color is needed. It pairs effectively with Benjamin Moore White Dove, Simply White, Hale Navy, Kendall Charcoal, and Guilford Green.
