Behr
Ocean Swell
PPU25-19
There is enough depth for it to show well on walls but should not overpower a room with decent daylight. Warm bulbs can soften it toward gray. Bring in natural linen and white oak for balance. Crisp white trim keeps the watery note intentional.

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
47.9LRV 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.
