Eggnog

V053-2

Eggnog is a light golden cream with a rich yellow base. It feels properly creamy. Kitchen walls, breakfast rooms, and older hallways can use that warmth, especially with oak or cream tile.

At this lightness, the color will bounce daylight but still read creamy. Compare it beside cabinets before painting trim. Cool counters may make the yellow side look stronger, so use a full sample board.

Eggnog 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.
