Salamander

2050-10

Salamander is a dark green-black with subtle blue undertones that create a shifting quality depending on the light source. At an LRV of 5.72, it absorbs nearly all ambient light, producing a deep finish that functions almost as a tinted black. Under direct daylight the green base becomes more legible

Salamander 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 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.
