Gorgeous White

SW 6049

Gorgeous White SW 6049 is a soft muted off-white with subtle purple undertones and an LRV of 72, providing strong light reflectance while reading warmer than a pure white. It works well in bedrooms, bathrooms, and living rooms where a quiet backdrop is needed without the starkness of true white. This color pairs naturally with soft mauves for tonal layering, charcoal grays for defined contrast, and cool slate blues for a restrained, cohesive palette.

The purple undertone becomes more visible in north-facing rooms with limited direct light.

Gorgeous 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.
