Defined by a nearly neutral base, Papyrus White is a luminous very light, nearly pure gray. With an LRV of 84, it reflects light beautifully, working as a versatile ceiling color, trim, or all-over wall color. For a cross-brand equivalent, Kilz's Lilac Cream is a near-identical match. Behr's White City runs close as well. It pairs beautifully with warm wood tones to offset its coolness, or with silver and chrome for a polished look.
