More about Spare White
Spare White is a soft, light off-white at LRV 77 with a subtle warmth — clean and gentle, the kind of white that frames a room without drawing attention. It works on walls and trim alike and suits homes that want a soft, livable white over a crisp, cool one.
Its gentle warmth keeps it easy to live with, though it can read faintly soft next to a bright white. Benjamin Moore Silver Satin is its near-identical cross-brand match, with Behr Spun Wool very close.
