RGB White vs. RGBW Pure White

RGB “White”

Standard RGB systems mix red, green, and blue to approximate white. The result is a cool, bluish-purple tint that doesn't look natural, especially on warm-toned homes with stone, stucco, or earth-tone siding.

RGBW Pure White

TruLight uses 6 LEDs per light: 3 RGB + 3 dedicated warm white LEDs. This gives you two distinct white modes: a real warm white that flatters stone and stucco, and a true pure white by blending all 6 LEDs together. No RGB system can replicate this.
