Behr
Chicago Fog
N140-2
Cool daylight can pull it grayer, but the beige base prevents a steely effect. Use a warmer white trim if the room has travertine, oatmeal carpet, or muted wood tones nearby.

Chicago Fog 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
76.6LRV 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.
