There is some difference in Chroma, 0.10, and the contrast in Value might be enough to make it work. However, Snowfall *could* also work even though it doesn’t quite meet my 0.20 rule of thumb it would be worth taking a look at in the space to see what it looks like.Īnd that’s because even though there is only a difference of 0.10 in Chroma, Moderne White is darker. So in the case of these three colors, Extra White is a better choice to get a crisper and cleaner white trim contrast with Moderne Gray walls.īecause it meets my 0.20 (ish)Chroma difference rule of thumb. The wall color has more Chroma (or colorfulness) and the white trim color is literally more neutral which means it’s going to look crisper and cleaner. It’s because the trim color with LESS Chroma is closer to a true neutral white than the wall color. Have you figured out why it works that way? If you follow that rule of thumb, then your white trim color won’t end up looking dirty or dingy next to the wall color. Your wall color needs to have MORE Chroma than the trim. If you want the white trim color to look white, bright, crisp and clean, then you always want your trim color to have LESS Chroma than the wall color – by about 0.20 (ish). I like to see a difference of about 0.20 (ish) between white trim color and the wall color. Let’s say we’re looking for a wall color and a white to go with it for the trim, doors, cabinets. Well, there’s a lot you can do with it but let’s talk about one example. Wondering how this applies to specifying paint colors? Chroma and Paint Colors: The Definitive Guide You Need to Read

Let’s compare Chroma values for these three colors above. Ready for another case study? Let’s use a range of whites this time. Just by glancing at the Chroma number and Chroma scale you can determine if a color is strong, colorful, clean, clear, vivid -or- weak, near neutral, dirty, muddy, or dull. Naval is in the middle in terms of strong or weak compared to the other two. It’s farther away from 0 true neutral gray. What the numbers indicate and what the scale illustrates is how strong and colorful these purple-blues are -or- how weak and closer to a true neutral gray they are.Īgain referencing the Colorographies, you can see that Hale Navy is the weakest, it’s closer to a true neutral gray of the same intensity.Īdmiral is the strongest and most colorful. The Chroma scale draws a picture of Chroma for you so the differences are easy to see at-a-glance and understand quickly. When we study their Chroma, we can see that Hale Navy has the lowest Chroma value, 1.51.Īdmiral Blue has the most Chroma of the three coming in at 4.26.
