Raw Cashmere vs S 2005-Y20R

Raw CashmereDuluxvsS 2005-Y20RNCSΔE 3.1Noticeable difference

Where Raw Cashmere belongs to Dulux's range, S 2005-Y20R is a NCS color. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. Raw Cashmere (LRV 61) reflects noticeably more light than S 2005-Y20R (LRV 55), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 3.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
