Opaline

SW 6189

Opaline (SW 6189) is a soft pale tone with gray-green undertones, posting an LRV of 73. At this high reflectance level, it reads as a cool off-white with a subtle organic quality, hovering between white and the faintest sage. The gray-green undertone keeps it from appearing stark while maintaining a clean, neutral presence.

It works well in bedrooms, bathrooms, and transitional spaces where a quiet backdrop is needed. Pair it with Extra White (SW 7006) for trim, and coordinate with Comfort Gray (SW 6205), Sea Salt (SW 6204), Silver Strand (SW 7057), and Alabaster (SW 7008).
