Cashmere Dune No. 1 Lacquer

If you want your furniture light without letting it feel cold, Cashmere Dune No. 1 is the one for you. This very pale off-white has a warm core – not a cold white, but one with a spoonful of cream stirred in. On furniture, it stays in the background and lets wood grain, handles and textiles take the lead; re-box protect applies it with a silky sheen.

Just how light this off-white really is

Cashmere Dune No. 1 sits close to white, but never on it. A warm, beige undertone softens the shade without letting it turn creamy or yellowish. This comes through beautifully in the satin finish: the surface doesn't look flat but carries a gentle sheen that brings out edges and profiles. Placed next to pure white, the warmth is immediately clear. In north-facing rooms it stays friendly, in south-facing rooms it becomes almost luminous. On oak and walnut, it makes a calm counterpart.

What the shade pairs well with

Light shades thrive next to neighbours of a similar temperature. Within the Beige Lacquer Colours family, these work well:

• Lait Vanillé No. 56 Lacquer – a touch warmer, good for adjoining fronts.
• Lin Clair No. 58 Lacquer – linen-like and softly grey, keeps the look calm.
• Blanc Épuré No. 55 Lacquer – clearer and cooler, as a contrast on doors.
• Soie Blush No. 59 Lacquer – touched with rosé, brings colour into the ensemble.

As a wall paint, the shade carries the same name: Cashmere Dune No. 1, available in matt or satin matt. Walls and furniture in the same shade make small rooms feel larger.

Fronts, door frames and everything that gets touched often

re-box protect is re-box's furniture and multi-purpose lacquer, made for furniture, wood and interior surfaces. In this light shade, it works beautifully on country-style kitchens, wall panels, picture rails, built-in wardrobes and interior doors. White and off-white show every fingerprint – fortunately, the lacquer is built to withstand mechanical stress, everyday dirt and outside influences. For doors you'd rather not remove, see Painting a door without removing it.

Preparing and building up the surface

Load-bearing, clean, dry, free of loose particles – that's how the surface needs to look before paint goes on. Old glossy coats are sanded down, then all dust is completely removed. First you apply re-box core, the adhesion primer with strong grip on a wide range of surfaces. re-box protect follows after that. Especially with light shades, two thin coats pay off. For the basics on preparation, see Wände richtig vorbereiten.

How far 750 ml goes

The tin holds 750 ml. Based on roughly 6 to 8 m² per litre and coat, that's about 4.5 to 6 m² per coat, so around 2 to 3 m² for two coats. Realistically: an interior door with frame, a chest of drawers with four drawers, or the fronts of a narrow kitchen run. On strongly coloured surfaces under a light shade, you'll need more.

Frequently asked questions about Cashmere Dune No. 1

Is Cashmere Dune No. 1 a white?
No, it's a very light off-white with a warm undertone. Next to a pure white, the difference is immediately visible.

Does the light paint cover dark wood?
On dark surfaces, you'll generally need more material. First apply re-box core as an adhesion primer, then re-box protect in two thin coats.

Is the shade also available for walls?
Yes, the same shade is available as an interior paint in matt and silk-matt, in 2.5, 5 and 10 litres. 5 litres is enough for about 15 to 20 m² with two coats.

Can I see the shade beforehand?
Yes, with the colour sample box featuring all 65 shades. This is especially worthwhile with light shades, as room light shifts them considerably.

How long does shipping take?
3 to 5 working days from receipt of payment, within Germany. Processing starts once payment has been received in full.
