Pale Papyrus is a very light, warm yellow with cleanly balanced undertones that give it a earthy quality. With an LRV of 88, it works beautifully as a whole-home color, adding warmth to kitchens and living spaces. For a cross-brand equivalent, Dunn-Edwards's Calla Lily is a near-identical match. Behr's Pale Parsnip runs close as well. It pairs well with crisp whites for contrast and warm metallics like brass or gold for cohesion.
