Cool Whites Room Scene

Cool Whites

If you have a room with cool hues, like blue, it’s best to select a white that also has cool undertones. Cool whites make a great complement to clear and deeply saturated colors, bringing a clean look to any design while still offering a sharp contrast. Sunlit rooms are a good match with these whites, as they offset natural light which is inherently warm. Embrace the clean canvas your cool white provides and use it to make your favorite artwork stand out.


Warm Whites

Warm undertones tend to have a base of yellow or red and provide a warm and welcoming feel to any room. These whites work well in a room with warm furnishings and decor, and create smooth transitions from room to room. These shades also combine well with natural materials (such as wood), creating an organic flow throughout the space.
