Wall paint - Cabbage White No. 269

Cabbage White No. 269 – Colour Description

Cabbage White is named after the cabbage white butterfly, whose delicate wings inspired this equally delicate colour. This white with a hint of blue-green is a fresh, light shade that is perfect for the walls and ceilings of a bedroom.

Colour Effect & Light

Cabbage White brings calm and spaciousness to any room and forms the perfect base for changing decor. Due to its high pigmentation, the tone changes with the daylight – softer in the morning, deeper in the evening.
