Velvet Curtain
S540-5
Daylight keeps the blue side visible. Ivory bedding and dark stained wood make it feel settled. In warm lamplight, the violet becomes softer and moodier, which can be beautiful in a low-sheen finish.
Color Codes
Velvet Curtain 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
52.4LRV 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.
