Arrowroote

SW 9502

Arrowroote SW 9502 softens white with enough beige to give it a natural appearance. It has the brightness needed for a main backdrop but remains clearly warmer than pure white. Pale woods and gentle taupes fit beside it without abrupt contrast.

Arrowroote 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.
