The white family splits careers: gallery-crisp 9016, softened 9010, stone-warm 1013. Choosing among them — and non-yellowing chemistry — is the entire craft of a white kitchen.
The exact RAL codes to spec
Colour names drift between suppliers; RAL codes do not. These are the three we mix most for warm white cabinet projects:
| RAL 9010 | Pure White |
| RAL 9016 | Traffic White |
| RAL 1013 | Oyster White |
Every code sprays in super-matte through high gloss; approve the sprayed sample in your room's light before production — sheen shifts colour a half-step.
What to pair it with
Warm White performs best beside any metal, veined marble, colour accents, timber relief. Keep undertone temperature consistent across counters, metals and floors and the scheme locks together on its own.
Where it works best
Specify warm white for small kitchens, uppers in two-tone schemes, rentals. For dosing strategies — island-only colour, two-tone splits — see the two-tone formulas guide.
Door designs to carry it
The colour reads differently by profile: on our Alba, Snowdrop, Almond designs it shows its full range from calm to characterful. All are lacquered to order in any code above — browse the gallery for the complete set.
The mistake to avoid
White's real risk is chemistry, not shade — solvent finishes amber; specify waterborne non-yellowing systems.
