Franklin White

CW-200

Franklin White is a neutral off-white with subtle yellow undertones, inspired by 18th-century white oil paint. With an LRV of 78.99, it reflects light efficiently, making it effective for brightening interiors including living rooms, dining spaces, and entryways. It works in both traditional and transitional settings.

This color pairs well with Benjamin Moore's White Dove and Swiss Coffee for cohesion, while Hale Navy and Kendall Charcoal provide contrast. Palladian Blue offers a softer accent option.
