Valspar

White Pepper

4001-1A

Warmth does the work. For rooms that need warm off-white without fuss, White Pepper gives a light version of it. Consider it for a bookcase back before spreading it through a large open plan.

Beside cool gray, the color can look more saturated. Pair it with pale maple; use satin where hands will touch the surface. Check the color upright near doors, since flat chips hide how much body develops.

White Pepper 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 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.
