Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Cashmere has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

Dining Room
Dining rooms often rely on warm incandescent or candlelight, which flatters warm undertones and mutes cool ones. The brightness difference is modest but present — Cashmere gives the walls a little more lift.
