Cinco de Mayo works well as an accent on one or two walls, in cozy rooms, or in spaces with stronger daylight where a deeper color will not feel heavy.

Cinco de Mayo is softer than a pure untinted white. The warm undertone and deeper color feel more gentle on the eye, so it tends to look calmer and less stark on large walls.
