Pure White SW 7005 Hue Family
In context of its Hue Family neighborhood, 9 Y (Yellow), on The Color Strategist Color Wheel. The pink arrows point to where it fits in among the other colors according to its Value 9.34 rounded to 9.38 and Chroma of 0.44 rounded to 0.50.
To confirm, one could pair SW Pure White walls (satin or eggshell) with existing BM Chantilly Lace trim? There is a .19 Chroma difference. Chantilly Lace eggshell walls look blue when compared to Chantilly Lace trim, so I’m thinking PW might be a good choice as their is a tiny bit of warmth.
Hi Carla. The pairing is a little short of my 0.20 difference in Chroma guideline but I’d say it’s plausible. Whether it truly works or not depends on the lighting, context and whether you think they look pretty together or not.
Hi Lori, Could this be a good paint for exterior stucco with western exposure and no trees around? Or would this be too blindingly bright in the afternoon? Thank you
You are correct. Pure White is too bright.
The brightest I would go exterior is an off-white like SW’s Creamy.
Off-White meaning a Munsell Value 9.12 to 10 and Munsell Chroma 0.55 to 1.15. The Paint Color DNA Table has shortcut boxes and when you check them it sorts the colors in to White, Off-White, Light Near Neutral or Near Neutral categories. So you don’t have to remember the brackets. Just click the box you want and hit the magnifying glass icon in the search bar to activate the Table.
Also consider colors with more nuance (darker and more colorful). E.g. Manchester Tan, Eider White, Balboa Mist, Greek Villa, Light Pewter. Even Revere Pewter.
