Cashmere

930

Cashmere is a light creamy neutral with warm yellow undertones. With an LRV of 79.37, it reflects a high amount of light and stays bright without turning stark. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and ceilings where a warm off-white is needed.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore White Dove or Swiss Coffee for a tonal range, and add Lemon Chiffon for a soft yellow. Hale Navy or Hunter Green provide darker contrast.

Cashmere 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.
