In a room designed around rest, softness and retreat, the most interesting quality of Shirting (129) may be the way it responds to bed linen, timber, wool and upholstered textures. Its red undertone may become clearest at the boundary between paint and a contrasting finish.

Manufacturer description
Little Greene Shirting 129 is an exceptionally pale white with an even, neutral appearance, based on its balanced #f8f8f8 value. It has very little visible saturation, so it keeps walls looking bright without the harder contrast of a pure, stark white. In daylight, Shirting will read as a soft clean white, while evening lighting may make it pick up the character of nearby furnishings and bulb temperature. Use it across walls and ceilings for a lightly defined, open look, or on cabinetry and trim where a quiet white finish is wanted. Its neutrality suits natural oak, brushed metal, charcoal details, linen upholstery, and deeper painted colors.
