Every room, each colorThe difference
Read from the numbersDune White is the lighter of the two at LRV 82, 8.3 points above Cascade White at LRV 73.71. Cascade White leans cool where Dune White reads warm. Both belong to the whites family. For a whole room, Dune White is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Cascade White is the bolder pick.
How they read
In their own wordsCascade White is a cool off-white with a blue-grey cast that is visible even on the chip. At LRV 74 it is bright enough to read as white across a room, but next to a warm white it is unmistakably tinted — the color of a cloud on a clear day. It is crisp, modern and a little Scandinavian.
Dune White is a versatile off-white with hushed cream undertones and just enough beige-grey to keep it balanced — neither too yellow nor too cool. With an LRV near 82 it keeps a room bright and open, which is why it works so well as a whole-wall color behind bolder furniture and art.
