Moderne White

SW 6168

Moderne White is a soft warm white with beige and gray undertones, registering an LRV of 74. The gray component distinguishes it from purely warm whites, giving it a slightly cooled-down appearance that reads as a sophisticated neutral under daylight. It works across living rooms, hallways, and open floor plans where walls and trim need cohesion.

Moderne White pairs effectively with SW Repose Gray, SW Agreeable Gray, SW Alabaster, SW Mindful Gray, and SW Dorian Gray, making it functional within both warm and cool-leaning neutral palettes.

Moderne 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.
