Maple can sit comfortably with it too. In brighter daylight, it lightens up and feels more like a sandy neutral. Use it on walls when trim is cream or antique white. Beside cool marble, sample carefully, because the warmth can look too yellow.

Fossil 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
63.6LRV 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.
