Ludwell White

CW-275

Ludwell White CW-65 is a warm, creamy off-white with an LRV of 80.09, reflecting a high proportion of available light. Rooted in 18th-century distemper paint traditions, it draws its warmth from yellow ochre undertones that keep it from reading stark or clinical. The color sits in the territory between a true white and a pale gold, with just enough pigment to convey warmth on walls and millwork.

White Dove OC-17 and Simply White OC-117 work as coordinating whites. Hale Navy HC-154 or Kendall Charcoal HC-166 provide sharp contrast, while Pale Oak OC-20 and Wind's Breath OC-24 offer subtle tonal layering.

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.
