Camelot

S550-4

Camelot reads muted gray-blue with a polished violet undertone. A violet undertone gives it polish without making it purple at first glance. It can work in a bedroom or on built-in shelving when navy feels too strong.

Cool daylight reveals more blue. Warm bulbs soften it toward gray-lavender. A home office can use the shade quietly. Beige carpet may dull the shade, so compare a larger sample near the floor.

Camelot in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
