Malted Milk

SW 6057

Malted Milk (SW 6057) is a soft warm neutral with orange-pink undertones, carrying an LRV of 62 that reflects a generous amount of light while maintaining visual warmth. It functions effectively in bedrooms, open-plan living areas, and north-facing rooms where additional warmth offsets cool natural light. The orange-pink base becomes more apparent under incandescent lighting.

It pairs cleanly with Creamy (SW 7012) on trim, Doeskin (SW 6044) as a deeper accent, and Agreeable Gray (SW 7029) on adjoining surfaces. Townhouse Tan (SW 7712) and Armagnac (SW 6354) also coordinate well.
