More about Cotton Balls
Cotton Balls is a soft, clean white at LRV 89 — bright and fresh, with just enough warmth to keep it from feeling stark or icy. It's a versatile bright white for walls, trim, and ceilings, reading crisp without the cool edge of a true blue-white.
Its subtle warmth means it can look faintly soft beside a stark cool white, so keep the whites consistent. It's lovely in bright, airy rooms. Behr Resort White is its near-identical cross-brand match.
