Canyon Iris
P540-7
Weak light may push it toward navy-charcoal. Pale trim and a light ceiling help reveal the iris note. A bookcase can also handle the moody color. Brass adds warmth without fighting the color. Heavy purple textiles can make the palette too themed, so let the wall carry that note.

Canyon Iris 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
33.7LRV 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.
