Laughing Liam

8001-26B

Laughing Liam is a pale golden cream with a soft yellow-green lean. The color feels warm and fresh at once. It can work in a child's room, breakfast nook, or sunny hall where plain cream feels too quiet.

White trim makes it cheerful. Natural oak makes it softer. In shaded rooms, the green-yellow note may look dull, so test it with the actual bulbs.
