Linen White

912 / PM-28, OC-146

A quiet yellow cast turns Linen White into a creamy off-white that looks noticeably warmer than true white. Incandescent bulbs bring the yellow forward. At an LRV of 80.94, it functions near the top of the reflectance scale and works effectively as a ceiling or trim color.

Ballet White and Muslin share its warm base for low-contrast layering. Muted olive or clay provides an understated counterpoint without a jarring shift.

Linen 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.
