The color may look almost charcoal in weak light. Bring in warm white walls and aged brass. Lighter counters help. A satin finish is practical for high-touch surfaces and keeps the depth from looking flat.

Hostaleaf 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
33.6LRV 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.
