Glidden
Ivy League
PPG1228-7
Poor lighting can push it toward blackened green, so add sheen or strong lamps where detail matters. Pair it with brass hardware and warm white walls for a classic look rather than a tropical one.

Ivy League 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
36.4LRV 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.
