About this colour

At #E3DFD6, Birch White reads as a light creamy grey-white with a subdued warmth, more settled than a bright white and less yellow than a classic cream. It lifts a room without throwing back a hard glare, so it feels calm and usable on larger wall areas. In north-facing light it can take on a slightly cooler, stone-like cast, while in south-facing rooms the warmth comes forward and the shade looks softer and more enveloping. It sits well beside pale oak, walnut, chalky greys and muted greens, and the Active Emulsion or Waterbased Eggshell finish keeps the colour looking clean and even on walls or joinery.

How to use it

Use Birch White in living rooms, bedrooms or hallways where you want a quiet backdrop for patterned curtains, upholstered chairs or painted skirting. It works particularly well with natural woodwork, oatmeal linens and deeper moss, ink or tobacco tones.

A soft off-white like Birch White gives walls a gentle warmth without looking cream.

Birch White is a wall colour, so these are the cloths that sit against it: one of them on the curtains, the paint behind. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.
