Malton

1073

Malton is a softened beige with warm, creamy undertones that lean slightly toward tan without tipping into yellow. At an LRV of 67.07, it reflects a moderate amount of light, reading as a true mid-tone neutral in most lighting conditions. The color sits comfortably between a warm white and a deeper khaki, carrying just enough pigment to register on walls without overwhelming a space.

It pairs cleanly with White Dove or Collingwood, and gains definition alongside darker values like Kendall Charcoal or Hale Navy. For a coordinated palette, consider Palladian Blue as a cool counterpoint.

Malton 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.
