Timeless vs Cashmere
Where Timeless belongs to Dulux's range, Cashmere is a Jotun color. Timeless reads as beige-yellow, while Cashmere reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Timeless (LRV 87) reflects noticeably more light than Cashmere (LRV 35), a difference of 52 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. With a ΔE of 31.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Timeless vs Cashmere in Real Spaces
5 real rooms side by side. Seeing Timeless and Cashmere in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Timeless will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Cashmere would.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Timeless reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Cashmere.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. Timeless reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Cashmere.
Dining Room
A dining room lit by a dimmed pendant or candles is one of the most forgiving environments for paint — warm light softens almost everything. Timeless returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
