PPU17-20
It can handle a small library, powder room, or the back of built-ins when the space has layered lamps. In flat paint it may look chalky, so choose eggshell for walls and satin for millwork.
Color Codes
Eclectic Purple 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
25.3LRV 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.
