Wall paint - Skimmed Milk White No. W7

About Skimmed Milk White No. W7

Skimmed Milk White is a gentle off-white that feels subtly aged. When used as an eggshell finish on woodwork alongside a bold or darker wall colour, it feels elegant and slightly more traditional. As a wall colour, Skimmed Milk White has an entirely modern feel.

Colour effect & light

Skimmed Milk White is reminiscent of skimmed milk: a quiet, slightly stony white with historic charm. Due to its high level of pigmentation, the tone changes with the daylight: softer in the morning, deeper in the evening.
