Kestrel White

SW 7516

Kestrel White SW 7042 is a soft off-white with warm beige undertones and an LRV of 68, placing it in the upper-mid reflectance range. It reads warmer than pure whites but avoids heavy yellow or pink shifts, maintaining a neutral warmth that works across varying light conditions. It functions reliably as a whole-house neutral, trim color, or ceiling tone in living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways.

Kestrel White coordinates well with Urbane Bronze SW 7048 for contrast, alongside Accessible Beige SW 7036, Tony Taupe SW 7038, Alabaster SW 7008, and Kilim Beige SW 6106.
