The white we’d pair with this scale
Lawrence™ is a quiet, balanced white that sits well above Millstone™, so the ceiling stays a white. Its gentle undertone keeps it from looking stark beside the deeper steps.
The light this scale shares
3000K warm white
Every shade in this scale rates strongest under a 3000K warm-white bulb, and none of them is weak under 4000K, so the scale also copes with brighter, cooler kitchen or office lighting.
