Cashmere vs Antique White
Both from Jotun's palette. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. Antique White (LRV 56) reflects noticeably more light than Cashmere (LRV 35), a difference of 21 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 16.9, 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 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Cashmere vs Antique White in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Seeing Cashmere and Antique White 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 Antique White 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. Antique White 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. Antique White returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Antique White reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Cashmere.

Cashmere vs Antique White Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Cashmere on one side and Antique White on the other.
Digital color is approximate.

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