China Silk
PPU15-10
In north light, the shade turns cooler and more serious. Warm bulbs bring out the gray side without making it beige. Pair it with polished nickel, white bedding, or a natural fiber rug for a clean but not sterile result.

China Silk 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
61.0LRV 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.
