Betsy's Linen

7005-16

Betsy's Linen is a very bright warm white with a soft cream-linen undertone. It is light, not stark. Use it for walls, ceilings, or trim when a pure white feels too cold.

The warmth works well with oak floors, woven shades, and older plaster. Beside cool gray walls, it may look creamier than expected. Sample it next to existing doors before using it as a trim white.

Betsy's Linen 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.
