Harwood Putty

CW-5

Harwood Putty is a near-white with minimal warm undertones, achieving an LRV of 83.19 that provides strong light reflection. The color reads as an off-white with slight warmth rather than a stark cool white, making it appropriate for walls, trim, and ceilings across most room types. Its high reflectance supports use in spaces with limited natural light.

This shade coordinates with Benjamin Moore White Dove for layered whites, Swiss Coffee for warm neutral pairing, Hale Navy for strong contrast, Kendall Charcoal for accent depth, and Simply White for trim differentiation.
