In low light, the color can close down fast, so add lamps before judging it. Clean white trim gives the edges discipline. Brass hardware will bring out the warmer violet note.
Color Codes
Illusionist 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
32.2LRV 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.
