Cascade Beige

N240-1

Cascade Beige is a pale warm beige with a stone undertone, useful through halls or open living spaces when gray feels too cool. Linen shades and medium wood fit naturally beside it. Sunlight makes it creamier during the brightest hours.

Dim rooms may need stronger trim contrast around doors. Cool counters should be tested before nearby walls are painted, since the beige can look warmer by comparison. It stays quiet.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
