How they read
In their own wordsMilk White is one of Edward Bulmer's core whites — a warm, inviting white with none of the blueness the name might suggest. The paint is plant-based and pigmented with earths, which gives the colour a chalky, gentle depth on the wall.
Alabaster (SW 7008) is a soft, creamy white with a faint beige-yellow undertone — warm enough to feel inviting, clean enough to still read as white. At LRV 82 it brightens a room without the starkness of a true white.
