Sand Motif
PPU4-13
The gold is gentle. Choose cotton white paintwork, pale wood, or blue gray fabric. In afternoon sun, test it on a large board, because the yellow side can grow stronger. A pale ceiling keeps the warmth easy.

Sand Motif 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
78.7LRV 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.
