Behr
Elusive Dawn
MQ2-36
The best neighbors are ivory-painted trim, oak with a pale finish, or champagne metal. In west-facing rooms, it may glow more strongly late in the day. Against cool gray surfaces, the warmth becomes obvious, so sample beside counters and floors.
Color Codes
Elusive Dawn 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
76.2LRV 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.
