The color reflects plenty of light but still has softness. Warm gray, oak, or muted navy keep the palette steady. In south-facing rooms, it may look creamier during the brightest hours.

Welcoming 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
80.6LRV 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.
