Discover the etherialness of whitesmoke

Whitesmoke brings an airy sophistication to designs with a gentle presence that creates a clean, modern look while ensuring optimal visual comfort.

A closer look at the color whitesmoke

Whitesmoke’s subtle presence in architecture and interior design reflects its ability to create atmospheric depth without overwhelming spaces. It offers a softer alternative to stark white while maintaining clarity and sophistication—and its gentle nature promotes feelings of cleanliness and order while fostering an environment of calm and focused thought. In contemporary digital design, whitesmoke has become synonymous with sophisticated user interfaces and premium web experiences.

In digital color spaces, whitesmoke is defined by the hexadecimal code #F5F5F5. The RGB values of whitesmoke (245, 245, 245) create its characteristic bright yet softened appearance, making it ideal for background elements and text containers. When working with print materials, whitesmoke's CMYK values (0, 0, 0, 4) ensure accurate color reproduction across different printing processes. Professional designers often pair whitesmoke with darker grays or bold accent colors to create effective visual hierarchies in both digital and print applications.
