“Napery,” while traditionally a word for household linens, is also a Sherwin-Williams paint color. It’s a warm tone; it either looks beige or closer to a buttercream yellow, depending on the light. This paint is featured in many home- design articles and Pinterest boards, particularly ones related to coastal designs.
