How they read
In their own wordsKashmir is a Lime Wash colour from Portola Paints & Glazes in Los Angeles, which describes it simply as a "perfectly balanced old world white". It is also available as colour-matched paint for ceilings, doors and trim.
Swiss Coffee is the warm white by which other warm whites are measured. With an LRV near 84 it stays bright and open, but a slight yellow-beige undertone keeps it creamy rather than clinical — the look of fresh cream rather than fresh snow.
