In evening light, the blue side becomes moodier and more noticeable. Choose charcoal wool, walnut, or aged pewter nearby. Very warm beige trim may make it look flatter, so sample near fixed finishes.

LRV
42.0LRV 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.
