Daybreak

6008-3A

Daybreak is a light beige with a gentle golden cast, closer to warm parchment than gray. The warmth is steady. Daybreak suits living rooms, hallways, and kitchens where white feels too stark.

It will brighten most spaces without becoming loud. Finish the room with painted trim in a creamy white and medium wood floors. Use existing tile to judge whether Daybreak stays clean.
