Thousand Shells

8007-4B

Thousand Shells is a bright warm off white with a soft cream gray cast. The creamy gray cast keeps this white soft on ceilings, trim, and small bedrooms. Use it for walls, ceilings, or trim in rooms where stark white would feel too cold.

The high reflectance keeps hallways and small bedrooms open. Warm wood, linen, or brushed nickel can finish it, and existing white cabinets need comparison before choosing it.
