Elkhound
MQ1-56
Use it for a den, cabinet color, or exterior trim with stonework. Cream, black metal, or worn leather keep the scheme grounded. In bright rooms, the brown looks softer and more beige. In dim light, it becomes moodier, so make sure the room has enough contrast.
Color Codes
Elkhound 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
46.4LRV 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.
