Cream is white that learned warmth — the heritage default that flatters skin, stone and brass alike. Where stark white reads clinical, cream reads inherited.
The exact RAL codes to spec
Colour names drift between suppliers; RAL codes do not. These are the three we mix most for cream & ivory cabinet projects:
| RAL 9001 | Cream |
| RAL 1013 | Oyster White |
| RAL 1015 | Light Ivory |
Every code sprays in super-matte through high gloss; approve the sprayed sample in your room's light before production — sheen shifts colour a half-step.
What to pair it with
Cream & Ivory performs best beside aged brass, honed marble, oak and walnut, plaster tones. Keep undertone temperature consistent across counters, metals and floors and the scheme locks together on its own.
Where it works best
Specify cream & ivory for classic kitchens, Mediterranean homes, pantries, dressers. For dosing strategies — island-only colour, two-tone splits — see the two-tone formulas guide.
Door designs to carry it
The colour reads differently by profile: on our Almond, Avalon, Snowdrop designs it shows its full range from calm to characterful. All are lacquered to order in any code above — browse the gallery for the complete set.
The mistake to avoid
Cream under cool 4000 K lighting turns sallow — warm lamping is part of the colour spec.
