Pelican Tan
S260-4
Once painted, it has more color than a safe beige, so leave it room to breathe. Cream trim keeps it traditional. Black window frames or oil rubbed bronze hardware make it feel more current.

Pelican Tan 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
66.3LRV 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.
