Sherwin Williams

Natural White

SW 9542

Wisp of Mauve (Benjamin Moore, #DBCAC3) is a soft, warm neutral built on a blend of pink and gray undertones. Its LRV of 60.39 places it in the upper-mid brightness range, allowing it to reflect a fair amount of light while retaining enough body to register as more than an off-white. The pink undertone is restrained, leaning closer to a blush-gray than a true mauve.

It sits comfortably alongside Ballet Slippers and Touch of Pink in an analogous warm palette. Deeper accents like Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal provide the necessary tonal weight for contrast.

Natural 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.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
