Behr
Sultry Smoke
MQ1-33
Under cool north light, the gray side dominates. Warm lamps reveal the brown-mauve undertone. Because it sits in the middle range, it needs contrast from trim, art, or hardware to avoid looking flat. The color is hushed.

Sultry Smoke 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
42.2LRV 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.
