Niveous

Niveous begins as a white color on paper, then shifts with every surface, shadow and neighboring material. Its warm classification can bring a gentle glow to the color, particularly beside natural wood and softer whites. Treat the digital swatch as an opening note, then watch a physical sample from morning light through evening lamps.
