Cream Custard

M270-3

Cream Custard is a pale golden cream with a warm yellow-orange base. The high LRV lets the cream bounce useful light. Kitchens, breakfast rooms, and bedrooms can take it where a white wall would feel too bare.

Bright exposure can make the yellow more obvious. In shaded rooms, it softens toward vanilla. Choose warm white trim, butcher block, or muted blue fabric for a classic, comfortable balance.

Cream Custard in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

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.
