Muslin
At first glance, Muslin belongs to the white family; in a room, light and context can make it far more elusive. Its warm classification can bring a gentle glow to the color, particularly beside natural wood and softer whites. The manufacturer marks it as a best-selling color, though the most important test is still how it feels in your own room.
