Kitchen Cabinets

Cabinet color is always seen in context — against countertops, backsplash, and hardware — which amplifies undertone differences that might disappear on a plain wall. Tranquil Dawn has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
