Cashew vs Light ivory

CashewCloverdale PaintvsLight ivoryRAL ClassicΔE 5.2Noticeable difference

Cashew is a Cloverdale Paint color while Light ivory comes from RAL Classic. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. At LRV 68 vs 60, Light ivory will read as the brighter of the two — a 7-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 5.2, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Cashew vs Light ivory in Real Spaces

1 real room side by side. Cashew and Light ivory are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.

Kitchen

Kitchen lighting tends to be bright and directional, which sharpens contrast and makes undertone differences more apparent. The brightness difference is modest but present — Light ivory gives the walls a little more lift.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
