Soft Candlelight

3005-6C

Soft Candlelight is a light cream with a buttery yellow-peach undertone. It glows. The color can warm dining nooks, bedrooms, or hallways that feel dull in white.

Because it is fairly bright, it will spread warmth through the room without becoming deep. Use warm white trim beside natural wood. In strong sun, the yellow can grow sweeter. Test it near gray counters before using it in a kitchen.

Soft Candlelight 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.
