Behr
Granite Dust
MQ3-06
Because it is bright, it can handle larger areas without closing in. Place it with linen upholstery or natural oak. Strong yellow bulbs may make it creamier at night. Test beside trim, since old white paint can shift it warmer.
Color Codes
Granite Dust 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
81.3LRV 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.
