Taj Mahal

M300-2

Taj Mahal is a pale golden cream with a warm stone quality. Use it confidently in dining rooms, bedrooms, or halls where a richer off-white helps traditional finishes. Set it beside subtle painted trim and medium wood.

In bright rooms, it can feel sunnier than the chip. The yellow is polished. Cool marble may make the cream look warmer. Avoid setting it beside blue-white ceilings if a harmonious neutral envelope is the goal.

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.
